Kenny Rogers - The Stranger lyrics
Stranger, I know where you’ll find her Down the road from here About a mile and a quarter You’ll know the place by a chucky barn Stands in the field by a run-down farm by a pond Filled up with stagnant water Then you’ll see a shack nearby you’ll ask yourself I wonder why it looks so cold and lifeless all around Chimney rocks are falling out It looks as though the fire’s gone out on the biggest part Where the house is rutted down. No stranger, I ain’t seen you lately She don’t come around near like she used to You got a picture in your mind: pretty, gentle, sweet and kind You practiced every word you’re gonna say You’ll call her name but she won’t hear you She’s in the graveyard near you She died ten years ago last May. There was a man she talked about I meant she had to live without Years ago, he just turned and left one day He left her with an unborn child And her love for him will never die And an aching heart sent her to an early grave. Yes, stranger I know who you are I recognize you from afar But you ain’t never seen me not one time Yes, I know that you’re my dad From pictures that my mamma had And it was me and mamma that you left behind. Stranger, you will find me there In peaceful sleep on yonder hill Where we once walked as I do still To pick her flowers from the field. Mamma don’t need you anymore And I don’t need you like before You can go on back to where you went before You’re just a stranger... |
