A Stranger Song Lyrics by Bobby Long

A Winter Tale

0

For you my love, for you my love
For you my love, for you my love
So barricade the doors 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, oh 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
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, 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, oh 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
Well, a woman with your kind of heart will always be alone
With him my love love, with my love
With him my love, my love, my love
With him my love
Does your heart beat so softly without warning?
And does it beat out to the slow pace of the morning?
Oh, when you close your eyes after all that you see, that you see
Will you let the strangers be?
Will you let the strangers be?
For you my love, for you my love, my love
For you my love, always for you my love
