  • Stranger to stranger
    If we met for the first time
    This time
    Could you imagine us
    Falling in love again
    Words and melody
    So the old story goes
    Fall from summer trees
    When the wind blows

    I can't wait to see you walk across my doorway
    I cannot be held accountable for the things I do or say

    I'm just jittery
    I'm just jittery
    It's just a way of dealing with my joy
    It's just a way of dealing with my joy
    It's just a way of dealing with my joy
    It's just a way of dealing

    Words and melodies
    Easy harmony
    Old-time remedies

    All in good time
    Although most of the time
    It's just hard working
    The same piece of clay
    Day after day
    Year after year
    Certain melodies tear your heart apart
    Reconstruction is a lonesome art

    But I love to watch you walk across my doorway
    I cannot be held accountable for the things I do or say

    I'm just jittery
    I'm just jittery
    It's just a way of dealing with my joy
    It's just a way of dealing with my joy
    Just a way of dealing with my joy

    Words and melody
    Stranger to stranger
    If we met for the first time
    This time
    Could you imagine us
    Falling in love again

    Still believing
    That love endures
    All the carnage
    And the useless detours

    Oh I love you, I love you, I love you
    I love you, I love you, I love you,
    I love you, love you, love you ...

    Words and melody
    Easy harmony
