Lyrics
Rank Strangers
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 wandered again to my home in the mountains
Where in dawn's early light I was happy and free
I looked for my friends but I never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me.
(Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger)
No mother no dad not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me.
--- Instrumental ---
They've all moved away said the voice of a stranger
To the beautiful home by the bright crystal sea
Some beautiful day I'll meet them in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me.
(Everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger)
No mother no dad not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me..
