I'm a Stranger Lyrics & Tabs by The Black Sorrows
I'm a Stranger
guitar chords lyrics
There's a stranger
Walking down the highway to the border
Turning like a shadow at my shoulder
And the stars fall
Burning skies and bridges in the harbour
Turning into smoke above the water
When the wind blows
It rattles the doorway of a long gone time
Echoes in the rafters where the fire bells chime
It rattles in the memory
I listen at the window to the crying of the rain
I swore I would never pass this way again
This body I inhabit gazes from the window pain
And everywhere I look
Everywhere I look
This body I inhabit gazes from the window pain
And everywhere I look
Everywhere I look
I see your shadow
Staring like a phantom in the mirror
Wailing out a warning like a spectre
Burning eyes of sorrow
And according to your face
I'm a stranger in this place
I'm a stranger
But I'll lose this skin tomorrow
And the wolves howl
The hired guns are gambling at the hotel
Tell me what you've done that was so criminal
I've got my own crimes tattooed like a devil on my shoulder
There's a bandshe crying up and down the border
I'm on fire babe
I listen at the window to the burning of the sky
There's no telling who will pass this way or why
This body that I inhabit uses someone else's eyes
And everywhere I look
Everywhere I look
I see your shadow
Staring like a phantom in the mirror
Wailing out a warning like a spectre
Burning eyes of sorrow
And according to your face
I'm a stranger in this place
But I'll lose this skin tomorrow
Change this skin tomorrow
Lose this skin tomorrow
Change this skin tomorrow
