A Stranger Song Lyrics - Singles - Bobby Long

For you my love, for you my love 

So barricade the doors and stop the heart 

that you've been holding 

And throw the words you hold so dear 

from the letter you've been softly folding 

When they finish boarding up the house 

there'll be nothing left to see, 

Just a stranger taking his last breath 

upon the guillotine 

Your neighbours they were fighters, 

but they hung the man you killed 

Before the sins had left their hands their 

bodies were fulfilled 

Where the wings that sting the borderline, 

words fall softly to the floor 

A woman's love can cause a man 

to spill his every flaw 

On you my love, on you my love 

Does your heart beat so softly without warning, 

And does it beat out to the slow pace 

of the morning 

When you close your eyes after all that you see, 

Will you let the strangers be 

The train it hits the railroad 

and it cowers under flies 

It's painted by a man itself so it doesn't creep it cries 

You have seen the passageway 

but you trembled at the start 

You have always seen the strangers play 

and let them frolic with your heart 

And it's another chance to make amends 

but they dabble with your code 

You're lost without a wolf or beast 

to stop you in the road 

And he's sitting quietly in his cell and 

counting down its stones 

Well a woman with your kind of heart 

will always be alone 

With him my love, with my love 

For you my love, always for you my love
