《The Stranger》歌词

[00:00:01] The Stranger - Kenny Rogers

[00:00:12] Stranger I know where you'll find her

[00:00:15] Down the road from here about a mile and a quarter

[00:00:23] You'll know the place by a shackey barn

[00:00:26] That stands in the field by a run-down farm

[00:00:29] By a pond filled up with stagnant water

[00:00:37] Then you'll see a shack nearby you'll ask yourself

[00:00:41] I wonder why it looks so cold and lifeless all around

[00:00:49] Chimney rocks are fallin' out it looks as though

[00:00:53] The fire's gone out and the biggest part

[00:00:56] Of the house is rotted down

[00:01:03] Though stranger I ain't seen her lately

[00:01:11] She don't come around here like she used to

[00:01:17] You've got her pictured in your mind

[00:01:20] Pretty gentle sweet and kind

[00:01:23] You've practiced every word you're gonna say

[00:01:31] You'll call her name but she won't hear you

[00:01:35] She's in the graveyard near you

[00:01:37] She died ten years ago last May

[00:01:51] There was a man she talked about a man she had to live without

[00:01:57] Years ago he just turned and left one day

[00:02:02] He left her with an unborn child

[00:02:05] And a love for him that never died

[00:02:08] And an aching heart that sent her to an early grave

[00:02:16] Yes stranger I know who you are I recognized you from afar

[00:02:22] But you ain't never seen me not one time

[00:02:28] Yes I know that you're my dad

[00:02:31] From pictures that my Momma had

[00:02:34] And it was me and Momma that you left behind

[00:02:42] Stranger you will find her there

[00:02:51] In a peaceful sleep on yonder hill

[00:02:57] Where we once walked as I do still

[00:03:03] To pick her flowers from the field

[00:03:11] Momma don't need you anymore

[00:03:13] And I don't need you like before

[00:03:16] You can go on back to where you went before

[00:03:24] You're just a stranger
