A Stranger Sang To Me

A stranger sang his song to me, One night after darkness fell, Taking me from a disturbing dream..... I was dwelling in the halls of hell This stranger sang his words of love, And I wanted to hear more; Standing in the shadows, I listened, And slowly, I opened the door In a quiet voice, he sang to me, He touched my heart and soul; While pity's tender anthem flowed, His words of love took their toll, I burn in the sun.... I warp in the rain, I can't get back to the light; He lost my soul, but kept my heart, I'm lonely in the dark of night Why is it that only this stranger Can light love's tender fire.... Taking my heart to a peaceful shore.... While longing quenches its vain desire Now, a nightbird sings high in the tree, But that's not what I want to hear; My dear stranger... deliver the notes Of tenderness and love to my ear!
