Kris Kristofferson - The Stranger I Love lyrics

I've been a simple man, and i've been insane I've been a vagabond, and i've been a king But i've been a better man just tryin' to please The stranger i love Lost in the wilderness, darker than pain And drawn to her loneliness, just like a flame The closer we come, the more that i lean The stranger i love Bad as i loved her, i ain't afraid We'll be together, some lovin' way I'll be her lover just as long as i can Then when it's over, she'll need a friend So i'll take her hand-me-downs; i'll take the blame I'll ba a hang-around; i ain't ashamed 'cause the longer i love her, the more i believe The stranger i love
