Текст, перевод и аккорды “The Stranger Song”
Its true that all the men you knew were dealers Who said they were through with dealing Every time you gave them shelter I know that kind of man Its hard to hold the hand of anyone Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender. And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind You find he did not leave you very much Not even laughter Like any dealer he was watching for the card That is so high and wild Hell never need to deal another He was just some joseph looking for a manger He was just some joseph looking for a manger. And then leaning on your window sill Hell say one day you caused his will To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter And then taking from his wallet An old schedule of trains, hell say I told you when I came I was a stranger I told you when I came I was a stranger. But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreams As though they were the burden of some other O youve seen that man before His golden arm dispatching cards But now its rusted from the elbow to the finger And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter. You hate to watch another tired man Lay down his hand Like he was giving up the holy game of poker And while he talks his dreams to sleep You notice theres a highway That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder Its curling up like smoke above his shoulder. You tell him to come in sit down But something makes you turn around The door is open you cant close you shelter You try the handle of the road It opens do not be afraid Its you my love, you who are the stranger It is you my love, you who are the stranger. Well, Ive been waiting, I was sure Wed meet between the trains were waiting for I think its time to board another Please understand, I never had a secret chart To get me to the heart of this Or any other matter Well he talks like this You dont know what hes after When he speaks like this, You dont know what hes after. Lets meet tomorrow if you chose Upon the shore, beneath the bridge That they are building on some endless river Then he leaves the platform For the sleeping car thats warm You realize, hes only advertising one more shelter And it comes to you, he never was a stranger And you say ok the bridge or someplace later. And then sweeping up the jokers That he left behind You find he did not leave you very much Not even laughter Like any dealer he was watching for the card That is so high and wild Hell never need to deal another He was just some joseph looking for a manger He was just some joseph looking for a manger. And leaning on your window sill Hell say one day you caused his will To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter And then taking from his wallet An old schedule of trains Hell say I told you when I came I was a stranger I told you when I came I was a stranger.
