Song | The Stranger |
Artist | Allan Taylor |
Album | Hotels & Dreamers |
[00:25.620] | A stranger came in from the night |
[00:30.630] | And he stood as if lost in a dream. |
[00:36.430] | His smile was as sad as a true love denied |
[00:42.400] | And his voice was a song in the wind. |
[00:54.210] | I have travelled for many-a-mile |
[00:59.580] | And my journey I cannot delay, |
[01:05.250] | But I must rest for a while |
[01:08.490] | For I'm weary and cold |
[01:11.430] | And tomorrow I'll be on my way. |
[01:23.450] | Give me fire to keep out the cold. |
[01:28.810] | Close the shirters and make farse the door. |
[01:35.740] | Give me food for the night and a candle for light |
[01:40.320] | And I will make up my bed on the floor. |
[01:52.100] | I have nothing to give for my keep |
[01:57.720] | And your favours I cannot repay, |
[02:03.610] | But a gift is not measured in silver and gold ... |
[02:09.400] | It's a memory that's treasured each day. |
[02:38.860] | The stranger arose with the dawn |
[02:44.050] | And he shouldered his travelling load. |
[02:50.050] | Without making a sound he took one look around |
[02:56.130] | And the stranger – he took to the road. |
[03:07.220] | When the cold wind hounds in the night |
[03:14.600] | And the rain beats hard on the door, |
[03:18.840] | A voice in the wind seems to echo again |
[03:25.700] | And the stranger is travelling once more … |
