Lyrics
Sunlit Stranger (N. Ball/T. Saputo)
Fall into my lonely arms
and through a thousand nights.
I feel your mindful soul
rise beneath my dimming eyes.
My freshly-painted girl
the grey light we both share
combs silver moonlit strands
into your golden hair.
Chorus:
Join me in the shadows
my perfect sunlit stranger.
These arms can't hope to claim you
til daylight claims the danger.
Pray, pray, pray against the coming day.
Like passion's restless children,
we'll coax a sinking moon
to lead the sun astray.
My freshly-hidden girl,
the saffron sheets we share
cast billowed peaks and shadows
across your unbound hair.
Chorus:
Join me in the shadows
my perfect sunlit stranger.
These arms can't hope to claim you
til night-time claims the danger.
c Norman Ball, 2003
