Bobby Long A Stranger Song
for you my love for you my love for you my love for you my love
So barricade the dors and stop the heart That you've been holding And throw the words you hold so dear From the letter you've been softly folding When they finish boarding up the house There'll be nothing left to see Just a stranger taking his last breath Upon the guillotine
Your neighbors they were fighters But they hung the man you killed Before the sins had left their hands their Bodies were fulfilled Where the wings that sting the borderline Words fall softly to the floor A woman's love can cause a man To spill his every flaw On you my love on you my love
Does your heart beat so softly without warning And does it beat out to the slow pace Of the morning
When you close your eyes after all that you see Will you let the strangers be
The train it hits the railroad And it cowers under flies It's painted by a man itself so it doesn't creep it cries You have seen the passageway But you trembled at the start You have always seen the strangers play And let them frolic with your heart
And it's another chance to make amends But they dabble with your code You're lost without a wolf or beast To stop you in the road And he's sitting quietly in his cell and Counting down its stones
Well a woman with your kind of heart Will always be alone
With him my love with my love For your my love always for you my love
