Hey stranger
Would you come in through my door?
If not now I leave it ajar
And then maybe you could come back 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
How would I 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 succes just turned his back and never came
And now I find I became a man
Of even greater solitude
And I wish I spent more time
Making friends with guys like you
Oh stranger, how can I make you stay?
For a little while a little while
Oh stranger, please don t go away
I m living on
I m singing on
just to let me
sing one song for you
Hey stranger
This is my song, it is old & it is wrinkled
I tried it for too long
I tried it time after time
To forget about myself
And to hide it in a while
But a while s been going on
Since I can t remember when
And got catched up by the life
Of a lost and lonely man
I think i m a-sung away a little faster
than I planned
Hey stranger
This is my life, I can t use it anymore
For I share it with one but myself myself
I can t fool you anymore
Let me hide with you a while
Let me try it a little while
Let me try it a little while
And then maybe you ll believe it s true
That in all these years I spent
With the glory of a fool
Making diamonds out of tears
On the highest bid to go
That I ve been searching for a friend
To tell my troubles to
But I could never understand
How to get out of that cell that cell
Please don t send me back to hell
