Intro: I'm weary from this river It flows far but never nearer to my home And the war's upon the shores Keep the single girls indoors And so all my love songs fall on wasted ears I grow tired of this highway, it runs far but never my way Don't you know But the company of strangers And the close and the present dangers Seem to pick me up like an old crow in the snow Cuz I'm a stranger in a strange land Guess I left the world behind And my love is like a galaxy It seems slow but it sure does shine And when I'm gone you'll know me by the friends I leave behind I'm weary of this losin' What choice is there in choosin if you find Yourself a stranger in a stranger place With your beat up shoes and an old suitcase And a wrist watch that don't ever seem to tell the time But there's a warm and a gentle feeling, it ain't never worth concealin what you see and the reins inside my brains keeps the memories contained but i miss you like the wind misses the trees Cuz I'm a stranger in a strange land Guess I left the world behind And my love is like a galaxy It seems slow but it sure does shine And when I'm gone you'll know me by the friends I leave behind And when I'm gone you'll know me by the friends I leave behind
