The Long Yard Home lyrics - track 16

Stranger’s Love

I lay in her arms in a starless night – not knowing if it was wrong or right
And a stranger held me – a stranger loved me
A stranger dried all the tears – a stranger held all the years
She held me for who I was – not what she thought I could be
There was no before no after to come – she’d be gone long before the morning sun
And the stars stayed away – Hoping to hold the waking day
Strange lady in a midnight hour – strange lady an opening flower       
A stranger a lover a friend – my stranger my lover my friend
And she held me for who I was – not what she thought I could be
There was no before no after to come – she’d be gone long before the morning sun
And the stars stayed away – Hoping to hold the waking day
And a stranger held me – a stranger loved me
A stranger dried all the tears – a stranger held all the years
Strange it seems now in a much later day ----- We had no future - no past 
We had nothing to say - But a strangers love – took the pain away
And she held me for who I was – not what she thought I could be
There was no before no after to come – she’d be gone long before the morning sun
And the stars stayed away – Hoping to hold the waking day
And a stranger held me – a stranger loved me
A stranger dried all the tears – a stranger held all the years
A stranger a lover a friend – my stranger my lover my friend
And a strangers love – took the pain away
A strangers love – took the pain away
