Strange Walking Man Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There was a strange walking man
Leaving footsteps on my lawn
He cried, "I can't understand
My love left just before the dawn
From velvet valleys of dreams
By her leaving I was drawn
And in my sorrow it seems
That I'm too blind to see the dawn."
[Verse 2]
The misty morning heard his cries
Felt tears from his poor wasted eyes
"My love went with the sunrise
Wish I could see the sun rise
Wish I could see the sun today."
How could I stand and explain
The truth to his blind trusting eyes?
But could I love her again
Knowing I won her love with lies?
[Verse 3]
The lonely strange walking man
Begging me to help him see
But could I just take his hand
And tell him she lay next to me?
I followed footprints he made in the frost
Across the dewy lawn where he was lost
Is that his shadow I see?
Why does his face escape me?
Where is the strange walking man?
There was a strange walking man
Leaving footsteps on my lawn
He cried, "I can't understand
My love left just before the dawn
From velvet valleys of dreams
By her leaving I was drawn
And in my sorrow it seems
That I'm too blind to see the dawn."
[Verse 2]
The misty morning heard his cries
Felt tears from his poor wasted eyes
"My love went with the sunrise
Wish I could see the sun rise
Wish I could see the sun today."
How could I stand and explain
The truth to his blind trusting eyes?
But could I love her again
Knowing I won her love with lies?
[Verse 3]
The lonely strange walking man
Begging me to help him see
But could I just take his hand
And tell him she lay next to me?
I followed footprints he made in the frost
Across the dewy lawn where he was lost
Is that his shadow I see?
Why does his face escape me?
Where is the strange walking man?
[Verse 4]
Now I'm a strange walking man
And in my sorrow now it seems
That I'm a strange walking man
Searching blindly for a dream
Now I'm a strange walking man
And in my sorrow now it seems...
[Instrumental Ending]
Now I'm a strange walking man
And in my sorrow now it seems
That I'm a strange walking man
Searching blindly for a dream
Now I'm a strange walking man
And in my sorrow now it seems...
[Instrumental Ending]
