Stranger in the Barn Lyrics by Ismay

Desert Pavement

2023

[Verse 1]
Beginning with daylight
Stars as I open my eyes
Turn blue from a soft white
And my room feels cold and dry
[Verse 2]
I walk from the house to
The barn that sits down by the brook
Find a hole to peer through
See a jacket there on a hook
[Chorus]
I fault, I freeze
There’s a person in front of me
On hay, he sleeps
I’ve got to go, tell someone here
A man’s bedding down by the sheep
[Verse 3]
I run to the yard where
Within the thick of the brush
My parents at work there
And I beg them both to hush
[Verse 4]
Tell them of the barn where
I went to tend to a lamb
Just before I entered
Saw a total stranger, a man
[Chorus]
Their faces red
From the words I had just said
What should we do
Light up a match, pick up a stone?
Get him before he gets you
[Verse 5]
We’ve chosen our new plan
Quietly tip to the barn
We confront the strange man
And we welcome him to our farm
[Chorus]
We hand him some
Bread and butter and spiced rum
He was just strange
But now we know
He’s just someone
Making his way to the grange
