I Found A Stray Lyrics - Electric [vinyl] - Richard Thompson

I found a stray at my back door 

She was a hungry shivering soul 

Her dress was rags, her shoes were holes 

I found a stray at my back door 

I washed the dirt from off her face 

I tucked her clean into my bed 

But I could never wash away 

The voices calling in her head 

Sometimes a smile played on her lips 

That gave me joy where there was none 

Until the shadow crossed her face 

Like the moon across the sun

Whatever life she had to live 

It was a life of moving on 

I woke up one day to find 

My little stray had come and gone 

And she'll be out there on the road 

If she's not picked up by the law 

Or she'll be lying, nearly dying 

At another stranger's door

She was a hungry shivering soul 

Her dress was rags, her shoes were holes 

I found a stray at my back door 

I found a stray at my back door
