After the trial came the fire... I took it on the chin as best I could I am now working on the lock to the vault in my mind Like a stately home abandoned to the vines She left me in the summertime Walked wounded into autumn, fit to die But I barred the windows against the winter that began --- Tried to do my penance quietly but I'm not that kind of man Now, as strangers we meet in the night As strangers we meet in another life As strangers, we are spared the strife I was a fool to wish it any other way After the grief comes repair.... Didn’t know everything was temporary Time will work its weight on all plans in the end Also didn’t realise my broken heart would mend Still, what we did will never change Those memories will never fade The lives we truly touch, they are few and far between And I, I guess you recognise your fingerprints on me But as strangers we meet in the night As strangers we meet in another life As strangers, we are spared the strife I was a fool to wish it any other way I don't want to die in a place where I am blind I don't know why I can't leave you behind The means to damn the lovers throughout time You will burn and I will burn tonight As strangers we meet in the night There are strangers walking up and down my life And strangers in the background all the time I was a fool to wish it any other way I was a fool to wish it any other way I was a fool to wish it any other way

No one ever said that I would see her again. Somewhere. Later. Further down the line. In Paris. In the future. In fifteen years time. No one ever specified our paths might cross again. Not here. Or elsewhere. On a rainy Tuesday night. In Paris. In the future. In the hazy half-light. And I'm thinking Damn you Coincidence! Damn this fatal find! Oh, damn you Lady Luck! Damn my mind. Paris in the future Last time we were met I do recall you came to say, Goodbye. So long. Then you were on your way. You shocked me. Surprised me. I didn't see the change. After all these years I never thought we'd meet again. Not here. Or elsewhere. Or that I'd still feel the same. In Paris. In the future. In this haphazard way. So I'm thinking Damn you Coincidence! Damn this fatal find! Oh, damn you Lady Luck! Strike me blind. Paris in the future Stood mute upon the station platform, I saw you in the crowd I knew it was you that instant as my heart began to beat aloud But never glancing sideways, your silhouetted frame Looked so glamorous in the moonlight as you gracefully walked away Paris in the future
