Lyrics
The Stranger
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm walking down a street with no end
An evening wind is blowing cold
Ethereal tune a radio voice
Alone in the heart of the crowd
What's in the air the feeling they share
Looking full of hope
Oh no no no:
CHORUS:
Sorry sorry sorry I'm not the one you've been waiting for
Sorry sorry sorry I'm not the one you've been praying for
The saviour from afar
Collar up high a fresh cigarette
Vacant windows line the way
Man on the news with nothing to say
They tell the same tales every day
Suffering alone whispering cries trying to call
I can't help you:
CHORUS:
Sorry sorry sorry I'm not the one you've been begging for
Sorry sorry sorry I'm not the one you've been hoping for
