The Stranger I Love
Kris Kristofferson
The Stranger I Love K. Kristofferson Album: Surreal Thing [Intro] I’ve been a simple man and I’ve been insane And I’ve been a vagabond and I’ve been a king yeah But I’ve been a better man just tryin’ to please The stranger I love Lost in a wilderness darker than pain And drawn to her loneliness and just like a flame Closer we come the more that I need The stranger I love [Bridge] Bad as I love her I ain’t afraid We’ll be together some lovin’ way I’ll be her lover just as long as I can Then when it’s over she’ll need a friend So I’ll take her hand-me-downs I’ll take the blame I’ll be a hang-around I ain’t ashamed ’Cause the longer I love her the more I believe The stranger I love [Outro]
