Proper 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.
Dark day, windy city
Raincoat on my shoulder
So take my hand and show me where to go
'Cause don't you know I'm the proper stranger
Traffic lights, dusty sidewalks
Freeway people on the move
So take my hand and show me where to go
'Cause don't you know I'm the proper stranger
I'm the proper stranger Nobody knows my face or
Knows my name
Nobody knows where I'm goin' or
How I came
Lost and found, no one claimed me
All alone with a milllion others
So take my hand and show me where to go
'Cause don't you know I'm the proper stranger
Broke my wind, had no spare
Nothing left and no tomorrow
So take my hand and show me where to go
'Cause don't you know I'm the proper stranger
