A Stranger Song Songtext
von Bobby Long

For you my love
For you my love
For you my love
For you my love

So barricade the doors and stop the heart that you′ve been holding

And throw the words you hold so dear from
The letter you've been softly folding
And when they finish boarding up the
House there′ll be nothing left to see
Oh to see
Just a stranger taking his last breath upon the guillotine
Well your neighbors they were fighters
But they hung the man you killed

Before the sins had left their hands their bodies were fulfilled
Well the wings they sting the borderline
Words fall softly to the floor
A woman's love can cause a man to spit his every flaw


Oh you my love
Oh you my love
Oh you my love
Oh you my love

Does your heart beat so softly without warning
Does it beat out to the slow pace of the morning
Oh when you close your eyes
And after all that you see
That you see
We let the strangers be

The train it hits the railroad and it cowers under flies

It's painted by night itself so it doesn′t creep and cry
You have seen the passageway but you trembled at the start
Oh at the start
You have always seen the strangers play
And let them frolic with your heart
And it′s another chance to make amends but they dabble with your code
You're lost without a wolf or beast to stop you in the road
And he′s sitting quietly in his cell and counting down his storm
Well a woman with your kind of heart will always belong
Well a woman with your kind of heart will always belong


With him my love
With him my love
With him my love
My love, my love
With him my love

Does your heart beat so softly without warning
Does it beat out to the slow pace of the morning
Oh when you close your eyes
And after all that you see
That you see
We let the stranger be
We let the stranger be

For you my love
For you my love
My love
For you my love
Always for you my love
