Smiling Stranger - John Martyn

Standing on the corner, got myself in hand

Waiting for the come on

From the come around man

Smiling stranger

Smiling stranger every day

Smiling stranger

Smiling stranger every day

Standing at the airport

With the smile of a saviour

Selling off a piece

Of my favourite flavour

Smiling stranger

Smiling stranger every day

I’m a smiling stranger

Smiling stranger every day

Take good care of yourself

And don’t you worry so

Love is coming for us all

Soon as we think it will

Life is hard

Yes I know, but it’s harder still

Loving a smiling stranger

Standing at the welfare

With the payoff in my hand

Waiting for the gimme

From the much obliged man

Smiling stranger

Smiling stranger every day
