Favourite Stranger Dick Usher lyrics

Some times I feel I lost something
In gaining everything,
But I can`t put my finger on what it was,
It`s just one of those nagging feelings,
Like sitting with your back to an open door
Waiting on a favourite stranger.

I find it hard to talk about, its not easy
As you might expect
Just sitting here waiting, trying to accept
That there`s something missing,
That there`s something not quite there
And that`s why you`re sitting there.
Listening to me as I try to explain that

(chorus)

You`re my favourite stranger
But don`t read between the lines,
I could say that I love you at this moment
In passing time,
But I could honestly tell you
I don`t know why I`m here,
Sharing all my problems with you
When you`ve already got your own share,
From favourite strangers.

Maybe it`s just I need an audience to
Pretend it`s all an act,
But all I gain is your confidence
And a number in a filofax
On the terms that it`s a first name
That`ll run one day in split champagne
And I`ll recollect and just accept
That you were one of my favourite strangers.

(chorus)

Sometimes I know I lost everything
In gaining something,
But I can`t put my finger on what it was
Its just one of those nagging feelings
like sitting with your back to an open door,
Expectting favourite strangers
