Zita Swoon - Shall I Let This Good Man In lyrics

Hey, Stranger Would you come in through my door If not now I'll leave it ajar And then maybe you could come back I'll be waiting here for you I'll be hoping here for you I'll be praying here that you'll believe it's true That in all these lonely years I would have loved your company But I never could give in To this fragile side of me You see I've always been a man of great ambition But success just turned his back & never came And now I find I became a man Of even greater solitude And I wish I'd spend more time making friends With guys like you Oh, Stranger How can I make you stay? For a little while Oh, Stranger Please, don't go away I'm living on I'm singing on Just let me sing one song for you Hey, Stranger This is my song It is old & it is wrinkle I tried it for too long I tried it time after time To forget about myself And to hide in it a while But a while's been goin' on Since I can't remember when And got catched up by the life Of a lost & lonely man I think I'm-a sung away a little faster Then I planned Hey, Stranger This is my life I can't use it anymore For I share it with no one but myself I can't fool you anymore Let me hide with you a while Let me try a little while And then maybe You'll believe it's true That in all the years I spent With the glory of a fool Making diamonds outta tears On the highest bid to go I've been searching for a friend To tell my troubles to But I could never understand How to get out of that cell Please don't send me back to hell
