Stranger Here - Cowboy Junkies

Stranger here

Face down in the river floating by

A backwards sky

Stranger here

Hung by the neck

Jeered by the crowd

Stranger here

Stranger here

And I could tell you about the time

I was looking for a rhyme

communing with the planets above

I am the righteous man

The one you’re looking for

I am a stranger here.

I am a stranger here

Stranger here

The legend will be told about the boy

Never hungry, never cold

Stranger here

Smoke in my eyes

Strange taste on my tongue

I am a stranger here

I am a stranger here

And I could tell you about the evening

That I was out drinking

And fell asleep by the side of the well

I am the righteous man

The one you’re looking for

I am a stranger here

I am a stranger here

And I could tell you about the time

I was swinging from the twine

And saw you flirting with that Jack-in-the-crowd

I am the righteous man

The one you’re looking for

I am a stranger here

I am a stranger here

Stranger here

Head on the pillow floating by

Willows sigh
