Cowboy Junkies - Stranger Here lyrics

Stranger here Face down in the river floating by A backwards sky Stranger here Hung by the neck Jeered by the crowd Stranger here Stranger here And I could tell you about the time I was looking for a rhyme communing with the planets above I am the righteous man The one you're looking for I am a stranger here. I am a stranger here Stranger here The legend will be told about the boy Never hungry, never cold Stranger here Smoke in my eyes Strange taste on my tongue I am a stranger here I am a stranger here And I could tell you about the evening That I was out drinking And fell asleep by the side of the well I am the righteous man The one you're looking for I am a stranger here I am a stranger here And I could tell you about the time I was swinging from the twine And saw you flirting with that Jack-in-the-crowd I am the righteous man The one you're looking for I am a stranger here I am a stranger here Stranger here Head on the pillow floating by Willows sigh
