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
