Stranger

♪♫ [...] Well, I've been waiting, I was sure

We'd meet between the trains we're waiting for

I think it's time to board another

Please understand, I never had a secret chart

To get me to the heart of this, or any other matter

When he talks like this, you don't know what he's after. [x2]

Let's meet tomorrow if you choose

Upon the shore, beneath the bridge

That they are building on some endless river

Then he leaves the platform for the sleeping car that's warm

You realize, he's only advertising one more shelter

& It comes to you, he never was a stranger

& You say ok the bridge or someplace later.

& Then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind ...

& Leaning on your window sill ...

I told you when I came I was a stranger. ♪♫
