Strangers

Lying here in darkness, lying in your arms Waiting for the dawn to come and shatter all these charms What are we doing here? I ought to walk away But still I hope, against all hope One morning you might stay But I wont pretend I love you, 'cos we both know its untrue I know you don't care for me and I don't care for you What are we doing here, turning love to play? Lovers for a midnight hour and strangers by Skin to skin and lip to lip, Is this all we can be? Ships that passed, entwined their masts and hurried back to sea What are we doing here in this blasphemy of love? It wasn't meant to be this way When they planned it up above But I wont pretend I love you, 'cos we both know its untrue I know you don't care for me and I don't care for you What are we doing here, turning love to play? Lovers for a midnight hour and strangers by Lying here in darkness, I can fantasise That the dawn wont let me see the lying in your eyes What are we doing here? I cannot walk away These few moments help me keep The loneliness at bay But I wont pretend I lobe you,'cos we both know its untrue I know you don't care for me and I don't care for you What are we doing here, turning love to play? Lovers for a midnight hour and strangers By day
