If not now I leave it ajar And then maybe you could come back come back I'll be waiting here for you I'll be hoping here for you I'll be praying here that you'll believe it's true That in all these lonely years How would I have loved your company But I never could give in To this fragile side of me You see I've always been a man of great ambition But succes just turned his back and never came And now I find I became a man Of even greater solitude And I wish I spent more time Making friends with guys like you Oh stranger, how can I make you stay? For a little while a little while Oh stranger, please don't go away I'm living on I'm singing on just to let me sing one song for you Hey stranger This is my song, it is old & it is wrinkled I tried it for too long I tried it time after time To forget about myself And to hide it in a while But a while's been going on Since I can't remember when And got catched up by the life Of a lost and lonely man I think i'm a-sung away a little faster than I planned Hey stranger This is my life, I can't use it anymore For I share it with one but myself myself I can't fool you anymore Let me hide with you a while Let me try it a little while Let me try it a little while And then maybe you'll believe it's true That in all these years I spent With the glory of a fool Making diamonds out of tears On the highest bid to go That I've been searching for a friend To tell my troubles to But I could never understand How to get out of that cell that cell Please don't send me back to hell
