〈MARSINAH〉 Oh, why do the leaves On a Mulberry tree Whisper differently now And why is the nightingale singing At noon on a 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
〈CALIPH〉 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 spacе I hang suspended Until I know Therе'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
〈MARSINAH〉 I saw your face And I ascended Out of the commonplace Into the rare
〈MARSINAH & CALIPH〉 Somewhere in space I hang suspended
〈MARSINAH〉 Until I know There's a chance that you care Won't you answer the fervent prayer Of a stranger in paradise 〈CALIPH〉 Don't send me in dark despair From all that I hunger for
〈MARSINAH & CALIPH〉 But open your angel's arms To the stranger in paradise And tell me that I need be A stranger no more
