Wayfaring stranger

I.

Sometimes I feel like a ghost inside

Like I’ve lost my way

And I’m lying by your bedside

In the morning light

Ooh, I feel happy again

And it’s been a long time 

Since I’ve felt this way

I’ve been out and away

I’ve been going inside

Ooh, I’ve been a stranger in the night

And it’s been a long time

Since I’ve felt this way

And I’m lying on my back

With all this grief and pain

And I’m giving up the way

And I’m lying on my back

And I’m giving up the way

And I’m lying next to you

Sometimes that’s all I wanna do

Stay inside this summer afternoon

I’m waking up to you

I’m waking up to you

I’m waking up to you

I’m waking up to you

II.

Oh wayfaring stranger

No, weren’t you? No, weren’t you…

No weren’t you the one who’s leaving?

Where you going these days?

How do you take your coffee in the morning?

Is it black, blacker than my soul, blacker

Than these thoughts running through my mind?

I wanna pick up the time that we left off

Times we could’ve had

The days run short

And the nights are long and bad

How do you take your coffee in the morning?

Is it black, blacker than my soul, blacker

Than these thoughts running through my mind?

Where do you think you’re going

Dressed like that? 

You’re barebones with no clothes on

Your body fat would keep you warm

If you had some

But you have none

And you’re better off for it

You belong to these mountains

And the forest with no end

Now I’m calling you,

Grabbing your hair in the wind

I invited you in
