Hey, Stranger
|
Would you come in through my door
|
If not now I'll leave it ajar
|
And then maybe you could come back
|
I'll be waiting here for you
|
I'll be hoping here for you
|
I'll be praying here that you'll believe it's true
|
That in all these lonely years
|
I would have loved your company
|
But I never could give in
|
To this fragile side of me
|
You see I've always been a man of great ambition
|
But success just turned his back & never came
|
And now I find I became a man
|
Of even greater solitude
|
And I wish I'd spend more time making friends
|
With guys like you
|
Oh, Stranger
|
How can I make you stay?
|
For a little while
|
Oh, Stranger
|
Please, don't go away
|
|
I'm living on
|
I'm singing on
|
Just let me sing one song for you
|
|
Hey, Stranger
|
This is my song
|
It is old & it is wrinkle
|
I tried it for too long
|
I tried it time after time
|
To forget about myself
|
And to hide in it a while
|
But a while's been goin' on
|
Since I can't remember when
|
And got catched up by the life
|
Of a lost & lonely man
|
I think I'm-a sung away a little faster
|
Then I planned
|
|
Hey, Stranger
|
This is my life
|
I can't use it anymore
|
For I share it with no one but myself
|
I can't fool you anymore
|
Let me hide with you a while
|
Let me try a little while
|
And then maybe
|
You'll believe it's true
|
That in all the years I spent
|
With the glory of a fool
|
Making diamonds outta tears
|
On the highest bid to go
|
I've been searching for a friend
|
To tell my troubles to
|
But I could never understand
|
How to get out of that cell
|
Please don't send me back to hell
|
