A Stranger in My Place Lyrics by Joan Baez

Come from the Shadows

0

I see the town
Where we were born
I see the place
We were raised
I see all the things you wanted
That I never gave
I see sadness
I see sorrow
I see pain on your face
But I just can't see
A stranger in my place
I can see now where we quarrelled
I can see now I was wrong
I can see where you might weaken
When I wasn't strong
I see memories of a love gone bad
That time cannot erase
But I just can't see a stranger in my place
No one seems to know you quite like I do
No one knows the things that make you cry
Looking back it seems
I never showed you
So now I lay alone and wonder why
I can see now
Where you might grow tired of dreams
That won't come true
I can see where I have fallen short
Of the things I promised you
I can see now through these tear filled eyes
No love on your face
I must get used to seein' strangers in my place
