You Were a Stranger Songtext
von Rhett Miller

Wind blew hard
Rain pelted the car
I squeezed the wheel and I held it together
You rode along
Whistlin′ a song
Knowing you were next to me
Made me feel better, like

Here we are
For the one-hundredth time
Laughin' in the face of danger
There you are
Thank God that you′re mine
I don't know what I'd do if you were a stranger


Wind blew hard
Rain flooded the yard
I was in exile, my next move was crucial
You were a friend
Of a friend of a friend
Thank God a strange twist of fate
Introduced us, then

There we were
For the very first time
Lookin′ for adventure
You would wind up
My partner in crime
I did not know that yet–you were a stranger

Here we are
For the one-millionth time
Laughin′ in the face of danger
There you are
Thank God that you're mine
Don′t know what I'd do if you were a stranger
I don′t know what I'd do if you were a stranger
