Stranger In Paradise

Kismet


She: 
Oh why do the leaves 
Of the Mulberry tree 
Whisper differently now 
And why is the nightingale singing 
At noon on the Mulberry bow 
For some most mysterious reason 
This isn't the garden I know 
No it's paradise now 
That was only a garden 
A moment ago 

He: 
Take my hand 
I'm a stranger in paradise 
All lost in a wonderland 
A stranger in paradise 
If I stand starry-eyed 
That's a danger in paradise 
For mortals who stand beside 
An angel like you 

I saw your face 
And I ascended 
Out of the commonplace 
Into the rare 
Somewhere in space 
I hang suspended 
Until I know 
There's a chance that you care 

Won't you answer the fervent prayer 
Of a stranger in paradise 
Don't send me in dark despair 
From all that I hunger for 
But open your angel's arms 
To the stranger in paradise 
And tell him 
That he need be 
A stranger no more 

She: 
I saw your face 
And I ascended 
Out of the commonplace 
Into the rare 

Both: 
Somewhere in space 
I hang suspended 

She: 
Until I know 

He: 
Till the moment I know 

She: 
There's a chance that you care 

He: 
There's a chance that you care 

She: 
Won't you answer the fervent prayer 
Of a stranger in paradise 

He: 
Don't send me in dark despair 
From all that I hunger for 

Both: 
But open your angel's arms 
To the stranger in paradise 
And tell me that I may be 
A stranger no more.
