Stranger, You And I

Stranger, You And I

Daphne Loves Derby
(album: Good Night, Witness Light)

Darling keep your, keep your voice low
If you can´t recall your lines
Maybe they won´t, they won´t notice
That you´re hiding the script,
Hiding the script under your sleeves

I´m sure we´ll be fine
You´ve got your friends and I
I´ve got my makers and all this time

Too late, too late to see the show
Everyone´s going home
Too late, too late to make them stay
The critics say the script is old

You step away from the stage and the spotlight
I hold my breath as the curtain comes down
We must have misplaced the scene where love conquers all
It conquers all

And if I could have known on that winter day
That you´d fade away and only I was to blame
I would have stayed awake and found a way
To make every soul in the crowd stand and say
"Bittersweet and cheap! But the ending makes it strong!"

Too late, too late to see the show
Everyone´s going home
Too late, too late to make them stay
The critics say the script is old

Too late, too late to see the show
Everyone´s going home
Too late, too late to make them stay
The crowd say the script is old

I´m sure we´ll be fine
You´ve got your friends and I
I´ve got my makers and all this time

Too late, too late to see the show
Everyone´s going home
Too late, too late to make them stay
The critics say the script is old
