The stranger song - Leonard cohen[00:00:00]

Its true that all the men you[00:00:04]

Knew were dealers[00:00:06]

Who said they were through with dealing[00:00:08]

Every time you gave them shelter[00:00:10]

I know that kind of man[00:00:14]

Its hard to hold the hand of anyone[00:00:17]

Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender [00:00:19]

Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender [00:00:24]

And then sweeping up the[00:00:31]

Jokers that he left behind[00:00:33]

You find he did not leave you very much[00:00:35]

Not even laughter[00:00:38]

Like any dealer he was watching for the card[00:00:42]

That is so high and wild[00:00:45]

Hell never need to deal another[00:00:47]

He was just some joseph looking for a manger[00:00:52]

He was just some joseph looking for a manger [00:00:57]

And then leaning on your window sill[00:01:03]

Hell say one day you caused his will[00:01:06]

To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter[00:01:09]

And then taking from his wallet[00:01:13]

An old schedule of trains hell say[00:01:16]

I told you when I came I was a stranger[00:01:19]

I told you when I came I was a stranger [00:01:24]

But now another stranger seems[00:01:30]

To want you to ignore his dreams[00:01:33]

As though they were the burden of some other[00:01:35]

O youve seen that man before[00:01:40]

His golden arm dispatching cards[00:01:42]

But now its rusted from[00:01:45]

The elbow to the finger[00:01:47]

And he wants to trade[00:01:51]

The game he plays for shelter[00:01:52]

Yes he wants to trade[00:01:56]

The game he knows for shelter [00:01:57]

You hate to watch another tired man[00:02:02]

Lay down his hand[00:02:06]

Like he was giving up the[00:02:07]

Holy game of poker[00:02:09]

And while he talks his dreams to sleep[00:02:12]

You notice theres a highway[00:02:15]

That is curling up like[00:02:17]

Smoke above his shoulder[00:02:19]

Its curling up like smoke above his shoulder [00:02:23]

You tell him to come in sit down[00:02:29]

But something makes you turn around[00:02:32]

The door is open you cant close you shelter[00:02:34]

You try the handle of the road[00:02:39]

It opens do not be afraid[00:02:42]

Its you my love you who are the stranger[00:02:44]

It 's you my love you who are the stranger [00:02:49]

Well Ive been waiting I was sure[00:02:55]

Wed meet between the trains were waiting for[00:02:58]

I think its time to board another[00:03:01]

Please understand I never had a secret chart[00:03:06]

To get me to the heart of this[00:03:10]

Or any other matter[00:03:12]

Well he talks like this[00:03:16]

You dont know what hes after[00:03:18]

When he speaks like this [00:03:21]

You dont know what hes after [00:03:22]

Lets meet tomorrow if you chose[00:03:27]

Upon the shore beneath the bridge[00:03:30]

That they are building on some endless river[00:03:33]

Then he leaves the platform[00:03:38]

For the sleeping car thats warm[00:03:39]

You realize hes only advertising one more shelter[00:03:42]

And it comes to you he never was a stranger[00:03:48]

And you say ok the bridge or someplace later [00:03:53]

And then sweeping up the jokers[00:04:00]

That he left behind[00:04:02]

You find he did not leave you very much[00:04:04]

Not even laughter[00:04:07]

Like any dealer he was watching for the card[00:04:10]

That is so high and wild[00:04:14]

Hell never need to deal another[00:04:16]

He was just some joseph looking for a manger[00:04:20]

He was just some joseph looking for a manger [00:04:25]

And leaning on your window sill[00:04:32]

Hell say one day you caused his will[00:04:35]

To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter[00:04:37]

And then taking from his wallet[00:04:42]

An old schedule of trains[00:04:45]

Hell say I told you when[00:04:47]

I came I was a stranger[00:04:49]

I told you when I came[00:04:52]

I was a stranger [00:04:54]

I told you when I came[00:04:57]

I was a stranger[00:04:59]
