The Stranger I Love Songtext
von Kris Kristofferson

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 trying to please
The stranger I love


Lost in a wilderness darker than pain
Drawn to her loneliness, just like a flame
The closer we come, the more that I lean
The stranger I love

Bad as I loved 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
