Stranger Comes to Town

歌詞

It’s a long, dark river my boat sails on Down to the murky sea Where a beam of goodness in your light Serves to comfort me It’s a distant, magical land I seek A desperate refugee A rebel who has lost his way But found the buried key So it’s alright Love won’t let you down Safe on a good night Stranger comes to town If you find him wearing his old tin hat Beware the common saint Who could lead you down a reckless path To where the good guys ain’t We could hold each other in common prayer Our babies close at hand We could live like drifters Rolling on towards the promised land So it’s alright If love don’t let you down Safe on a good night Stranger comes to town So don’t let me down Please let me breathe God won’t let me down He knows I wanna please So it’s alright If love don’t let you down Safe on a good night Stranger comes to town So don’t let me down Please let me breathe God won’t let me down He knows I wanna please I could close my compass and sail on free And find the missing men Oh, I could lose my bearings like before And lose myself again When you find your lot in a crowded wood With no way through the trees And that old, sweet promise of something good Pulls you to your knees Well it’s alright If love don’t let you down Safe on a good night Stranger comes to town
