Smiling Stranger Lyrics

John Martyn Smiling Stranger

Standing on the corner, got myself in hand
Waiting for ?them come? over me, cool ?...?
Smiling stranger, smiling stranger every day
Smiling stranger, smiling stranger every day

Standing at the airport with the smile of a saviour
Selling off a piece of my favour, a favour
Smiling stranger, smiling stranger every day
I'm a smiling stranger, smiling stranger every day

Take good care of yourself and don't you worry so
Love is coming for us as soon as we think it will
Love is hard, yes I know, but it's harder still
Loving a smiling stranger

Standing at the welfare with a pay-off in my hand
Waiting for the gimme from the much-oblige man
Smiling stranger, smiling stranger every day
I'm a smiling stranger, smiling stranger every day
