Stranger in Paradise Songtext
von Adele Leigh

Oh, why do the leaves of the mulberry tree whisper differently now?
And why is the nightingale singing at noon on the mulberry bough?
For some most mysterious reason, this isn′t the garden I know now
It's paradise now that was only a garden a moment ago

Take my hand, I′m a stranger in paradise
I'm 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

I saw your face and I ascended
Out of the commonplace into the rare

Somewhere in space I hang suspended

Until I know

'Til the moment I know

There′s a chance that you care

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 me that I need be a stranger no more
