lyrics

HEY STRANGER

Hey stranger, I ain’t seen you in some time
And I’m wonderin’ how ya are
It’s been an age since we spoke, And I’m wonderin’ where you coulda been
Or what you’ve done or who you’ve seen
Or where ya might be now
I pray you’ll speak these words to me somehow

Hey stranger, I wish that I could see the celebration in your eyes
The soul and the expression, and the joy that I depend upon
The wisdom I relied on, may be absent for today
I hold that thought but still you slip away

Winding down, as the circus heads straight out of town
The bright side is awaiting your arrival
But fate returns you again
Is destiny a lie

Hey there stranger, I found a letter that you wrote me back some time ago
You had a million things to say coherently expressed,
Now all I’m left to do is second guess.

Round and round, see the circus heading back to town
The bright side singing songs of our survival
Will fate returns us again
Or leave us high and dry

Heaven, Hell, Earth, sea and shore,
From the surface to the core
A nation screams and shouts for more.
(and then everybody starts singing like this)
Ba-ba-ba etc

Hey stranger,
I dreamt about you once again,
A picture of the past,
And all the places that we played,
Whatever, I’ll remember you this way.

Ba – ba – ba etc
