The Stranger

I left home
Now I know for sure
Hope is dark, farrowed & pure
I feel heartache
But this heartache I can bear

A soft armrest for a weary SOUL
I give them love but all they want is GOLD
I feel heartache
But this heartache I can bear
But I've been gone so long

There's a stranger
There's a stranger
There's a stranger
Coming around my back door

There's a stranger
There's a stranger
There's a stranger
Coming around my back door

Blood in veins
It comes in waves
Like courage unearned
Like a life thrown away
I feel heartache
But this heartache I can bear

Well girl just give me some sympathy
Because this devils raging inside of me
I feel heartache
But this heartache I can bear
And I've been got so long

There's a stranger
There's a stranger
There's a stranger
Coming around my back door

There's a stranger
There's a stranger
There's a stranger
Coming around my back door

I needed love
Like I needed a friend
But It's so hard Lord
It's so hard Lord

I needed love
Like I needed a prayer
But it's so hard Lord
It's so hard Lord

I needed love
Like I needed a friend
But it's so hard Lord
It's so hard Lord

I needed money
Like I needed a prayer
But It's so hard Lord
It's so hard Lord
