Love's A Stranger
Colin Blunstone Lyrics

You always hide inside the circles that I never knew
They turn your heart away from me
The neon lights that colour images don't tell the truth
I always hoped that you would see

Wanting the sun without the rain
Feeling the fire and not the flame
Losing you again

Love's a stranger

Like shadows passing in silence
Love's a danger
A door that's open to violence

And you can't turn your heart around
Once you have found
Love's a stranger
A danger
A light deep inside of you

Every night these same sad silences still fill the air
Round and round just like before
Knowing that the talking always has to stop somewhere
I can't surrender anymore

Wanting the love without the chains
Needing the pleasure not the pain
Losing hold again

Love's a stranger
A voice you've never been sure of
You can't change her
A drug you'll always want more of

And she will take you further on
Feeling so strong

Love's a season
A reason
A moment of madness

Solo

Love's a stranger
A conversation in darkness
You can't blame her
If leaving you seems so heartless
Love's a stranger always leaving regardless

And you are reaching out again
It's still the same
Love's emotion
Devotion
A reason to risk everything

In the 60's, Colin Blunstone was the lead singer of the Zombies, a British band that developed a distinctive, jazzy sound, in which his soft, laid-back, almost hesitant voice was offset against the equally soft, but flexible and pointy instruments of organ, drum, and bass.

The Zombies disbanded. In the early 70's, Blunstone re-emerged as a solo act, and scored several major hits. The music featured rhythm guitar now and ranged from string arranged melodies, to rock, to American folk.

The Zombies disbanded. In the early 70's, Blunstone re-emerged as a solo act, and scored several major hits. The music featured rhythm guitar now and ranged from string arranged melodies, to rock, to American folk. The Zombies were never far away; for instance, "Andorra", written by co-Zombies Rod Argent and White, is a remake of "Time of the Season".

"One Year" was his first solo album.

In the late 70's Colin lent his voice to The Alan Parsons Project, a logical progression from his solo work, as can be heard in a song such as "Old and Wise".

Colin is currently touring and recording again with Rod Argent, another founder member of the Zombies, performing both new material and hits from their joint and solo careers.
