Standing in a strangers land
my eyes are open wide
these images surrounding me
thrill me deep inside
multi coloured people wait
for trains that here are never late
and i wonder,
i wonder...

A drunkard tries so hard to sing
his cap in outstretched hand
i look into his bleery eyes
yes sir i understand
people line the city streets
vent anger and despair
and i wonder,
i wonder...

chorus:
You're my light, you're my dark
you're an Autumn walk in the park
but i'm nearer to Rome,
than i am to my home
and i miss you,
more than i can say

it seems no one is friendly
it seems nobody cares
i catch a glimpse of frosted sky
through branches brown and bare
i look down at the river Rhône
flow swift beneath my feet
and i wonder,
i wonder...

chorus:
You're my light, you're my dark
you're an Autumn walk in the park
but i'm nearer to Rome,
than i am to my home
and i miss you,
more than i can say

A thousand lights are burning
in this city here tonight
children walk with families
what a lovely sight
these cobble stones i'm walking
go on for miles and miles
and i wonder,
i wonder...
