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
