Lyrics
Stranger
When the stranger comes to call
Walks right in says nothing at all
From that glance that was given
You wonder how it is you’ve been living
Where you’ve been Where are you going
All can change in a flash of time
You’ve seen beyond you’ve got a glimmer of knowing
How it is you walk that thin line
When the stranger comes to call
Walks right in says nothing at all
You take a sip of the offering
Finest vintage rare and altering
Where you’ve been Where are you going
All can change in a flash of time
Seen beyond you’ve a glimmer of knowing
How it is we walk that thin line
Like the turning of a page you can’t unread that
The fire’ set and it does rage why put it out
There’s been a shift a change of heart
A light now shines in where it was dark
When the stranger comes to call
Walks right in says nothing at all
From that glance that was given
You wonder how it is you’ve been living
When the stranger comes to call
When the stranger comes to call
When the stranger comes to call
