Stranger in Paradise

Oh why do the leaves
 ♪
 Of the Mulberry tree
 Whisper differently now
 And why is the nightingale singing
 At noon on the Mulberry bow
 For some most mysterious reason
 This isn't the garden I know
 No it's paradise now
 That was only a garden
 A moment ago
 ♪
 Take my hand
 I'm a stranger in paradise
 All 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
 Till 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 may be
 
 A stranger no more.
