Help Me 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.
Yeah, more
Get me back
On my feet
Get me back
On my feet, on my feet
If you call me, I'll come runnin'
And you can call me anytime
And these sixteen strings we're strummin'
They will back up every line
There's a motivation about you
That moves me when we're apart
It agitates my affection
And it wants to break my heart
Help me, stranger
Help me get it off my mind
Get me back on my feet
Brother, can you spare the time?
Help me, stranger
Help me get it off my mind
Get me back on my feet
Brother, can you spare the time?
It's not essential that I feel you
But it's a sensitive device
I'm reverential when I hear you
I genuflect to your advice
(Your advice)
Well, I wish I had the words
And I want those words to rhyme
And I wish I had the nerve
'Cause I sure don't have the time
Help me, stranger (yeah)
Help me get it off my mind
Get me back on my feet
Brother, can you spare the time? (Brother, can you spare the time?)
Help me, stranger
Help me get it off my mind
Get me back on my feet
Brother, can you spare the time?
Brother can you spare the time? (Brother, can you spare the time?)
Brother can you spare the time?
Brother can you spare the time?
