| [00:02.346] |
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers |
| [00:07.91] |
who said they were through with dealing |
| [00:10.81] |
Every time you gave them shelter |
| [00:15.153] |
I know that kind of man |
| [00:16.786] |
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone |
| [00:18.746] |
who is reaching for the sky just to surrender. |
| [00:25.85] |
who is reaching for the sky just to surrender. |
| [00:26.145] |
And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind |
| [00:34.960] |
you find he did not leave you very much |
| [00:38.584] |
not even laughter |
| [00:41.786] |
Like any dealer he was watching for the card |
| [00:45.421] |
that is so high and wild |
| [00:47.288] |
he'll never need to deal another |
| [00:51.851] |
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger |
| [00:54.773] |
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger. |
| [01:03.34] |
And then leaning on your window sill |
| [01:06.30] |
he'll say one day you caused his will |
| [01:08.753] |
to weaken with your love and warmth and shelter |
| [01:13.482] |
And then taking from his wallet |
| [01:15.446] |
an old schedule of trains,he'll say |
| [01:19.280] |
I told you when I came I was a stranger. |
| [01:21.325] |
But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreams |
| [01:29.56] |
as though they were the burden of some other |
| [01:35.115] |
O you've seen that man before |
| [01:36.970] |
his golden arm dispatching cards |
| [01:39.470] |
but now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger |
| [01:45.540] |
And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter |
| [01:50.310] |
Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter. |
| [01:56.395] |
You hate to watch another tired man |
| [01:59.604] |
lay down his hand |
| [02:00.914] |
like he was giving up the holy game of poker |
| [02:07.229] |
And while he talks his dreams to sleep |
| [02:09.269] |
you notice there's a highway |
| [02:11.450] |
that is curling up like smoke above his shoulder |
| [02:14.545] |
It's curling up like smoke above his shoulder. |
| [02:23.395] |
You tell him to come in sit down |
| [02:26.902] |
but something makes you turn around |
| [02:28.964] |
The door is open you can't close you shelter |
| [02:31.688] |
You try the handle of the road |
| [02:35.303] |
It opens do not be afraid |
| [02:38.37] |
It's you my love,you who are the stranger |
| [02:40.834] |
It is you my love,you who are the stranger. |
| [02:49.518] |
Well,I've been waiting,I was sure |
| [02:51.156] |
we'd meet between the trains we're waiting for |
| [02:54.683] |
I think it's time to board another |
| [02:59.893] |
Please understand,I never had a secret chart |
| [03:02.963] |
to get me to the heart of this |
| [03:06.662] |
or any other matter |
| [03:07.902] |
Well he talks like this |
| [03:17.853] |
you don't know what he's after |
| [03:18.43] |
When he speaks like this, |
| [03:19.628] |
you don't know what he's after. |
| [03:21.254] |
Let's meet tomorrow if you chose |
| [03:22.442] |
upon the shore,beneath the bridge |
| [03:24.523] |
that they are building on some endless river |
| [03:32.548] |
Then he leaves the platform |
| [03:33.827] |
for the sleeping car that's warm |
| [03:36.697] |
You realize,he's only advertising one more shelter |
| [03:39.867] |
And it comes to you,he never was a stranger |
| [03:47.285] |
And you say ok the bridge or someplace later. |
| [03:50.409] |
And then sweeping up the jokers |
| [03:55.367] |
that he left behind |
| [03:58.548] |
you find he did not leave you very much |
| [04:00.658] |
not even laughter |
| [04:01.582] |
Like any dealer he was watching for the card |
| [04:07.472] |
that is so high and wild |
| [04:11.432] |
he'll never need to deal another |
| [04:14.32] |
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger |
| [04:16.397] |
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger. |
| [04:25.401] |
And leaning on your window sill |
| [04:28.221] |
he'll say one day you caused his will |
| [04:31.56] |
to weaken with your love and warmth and shelter |
| [04:33.285] |
And then taking from his wallet |
| [04:38.91] |
an old schedule of trains |
| [04:40.328] |
he'll say I told you when I came I was a stranger |
| [04:43.881] |
I told you when I came I was a stranger. |
| [04:47.788] |
I told you when I came I was a stranger. |
| [04:53.06] |
.................. |
| [04:53.811] |
....................... |
| [04:54.161] |
we are the stranger........ |
