The New Basement Tapes - Stranger Never fall in love with a stranger and that's what they all said to me Never fall in love with a stranger but I can't help it if she falls in love with me And never fall in love with a stranger Now they are up against my command and never fall in love with a stranger The pain is written in my hands But I can't resit, find my way out of this She knows that I love more than any river flows And I'm done now, all of my intentions are exposed Now hidden in my clothes, or in between my toes I wanna a tombstone pearl handle revolver Don't wanna meet a pale man with a halo in his hair And never fall in love with a stranger But sometimes I simply do not care But I can't resit, get my way out of this She knows that I love more than any river flows And I'm done now, all of my intentions are exposed Now hidden in my clothes, or in between my toes ( I've done things right pretty much all of my life I'm not looking for any sympathy I can run all I like away from that stranger But somehow she will always follow me
