I'm A Stranger

歌詞

There's a stranger Walking down the highway to the border Turning like a shadow at my shoulder And the stars fall Burning skies and bridges in the harbour Turning into smoke above the water When the wind blows It rattles the doorway of a long gone time Echoes in the rafters where the fire bells chime It rattles in the memory I listen at the window to the crying of the rain I swore I would never pass this way again This body I inhabit gazes from the window pain And everywhere I look Everywhere I look I see your shadow Staring like a phantom in the mirror Wailing out a warning like a spectre Burning eyes of sorrow And according to your face I'm a stranger in this place I'm a stranger But I'll lose this skin tomorrow And the wolves howl The hired guns are gambling at the hotel Tell me what you've done that was so criminal I've got my own crimes tattooed like a devil on my shoulder There's a bandshe crying up and down the border I'm on fire babe I listen at the window to the burning of the sky There's no telling who will pass this way or why This body that I inhabit uses someone else's eyes And everywhere I look Everywhere I look I see your shadow Staring like a phantom in the mirror Wailing out a warning like a spectre Burning eyes of sorrow And according to your face I'm a stranger in this place But I'll lose this skin tomorrow Change this skin tomorrow Lose this skin tomorrow Change this skin tomorrow (J.
