Текст песни
[Куплет 1] You wore a paper crown of blue I had a map with nothing marked We met where painted lanterns swung And food carts smoked against the dark You said you came from out of town I said i missed the last train home Then every stall became a story And neither of us stood alone [Предприпев] The brass band turned the corner The whole avenue fell in time You laughed and pulled me through the crowd As colors raced across the signs [Припев] Hey, stranger, stay beside me While the festival spins around We traded names and midnight stories Till the beat shook the whole town Hey, stranger, ride the moment Let the bright streets lead us on Two new sparks in a moving city Till the first gray edge of dawn [Куплет 2] You told me ‘bout your mother’s garden I told you how i crossed the sea We split a paper bowl of peaches And watched the parade roll free The windows flashed in stripes of red A silver car slid through my mind We took the long way past the river With the night still close behind [Предприпев] The brass band turned the corner The whole avenue fell in time You laughed and pulled me through the crowd As colors raced across the signs [Припев] Hey, stranger, stay beside me While the festival spins around We traded names and midnight stories Till the beat shook the whole town Hey, stranger, ride the moment Let the bright streets lead us on Two new sparks in a moving city Till the first gray edge of dawn [Бридж] When the paper lanterns dimmed You wrote your number on my hand We promised not to call it fate Just two who met where music ran [Final chorus] Hey, stranger, stay beside me While the festival spins around We traded names and midnight stories Till the beat shook the whole town Hey, stranger, ride the moment Let the bright streets lead us on Two new sparks in a moving city And a road still pulling us on [Аутро] Two new sparks, the avenue One more turn before we’re through
