STRANGER IN MY HEART

Hey you stranger in my heart,

The most beautiful thing the world would ever art,

Hey you angel among the shadows,

The only soul that could ever know my sorrows

 

Hey you beauty in the meadows,

Swinging your body slowly among the lilies,

Hey you so sweet a yellow,

Have you ever known my worries?

 

Better the slave ship on the high seas,

Sailing down for the city of Georgia,

I’ll hail my love for you among the whites,

‘Cause they’d all see I’m a lover

 

Hey this girl with a smiley face,

Don’t you ever dance with a stranger like me in your dreams?

Who’s this girl with a beautiful nose?

The kind of lips I’d rather kiss.  

 

Hey you sexy senorita,

Would you soften your soul for a hustler?

Would stop to hear the words of a weaverbird,

In a beautiful tree with no dimes?

 

Hey you see the stars I would bring you,

If only I could spent a life on a journey to the moon.

Don’t you see how I lost my last tooth in old age?

It fell in your mouth while I kissed you.
