Stranger to Me - The Waterboys

If you’re thinking of leaving tomorrow

If you’re planning on closing a door

If you’re cutting your ties

and shutting your eyes

on all the good that’s gone before

I won’t say a word to dissuade you

and I have no truth to make you see

For I’m long since through with talking

and you’re long since a stranger to me

If you’re humbling yourself before your maker

If you’re preparing for yourself to take a bow

If you’re cleansing your soul

and attending your woe

heading for the heartland in a plough

I won’t say a word to dissuade you

No I will not disturb your reverie

For I’m long since through with talking

and you’re long since a stranger to me

Your eyes are full of promise

and your winter coat is warm

Your house is fine and your vanities are like mine

You’re the perfect port in any storm

And your hair is the colour of morning

and your trust comes absolutely free

and your soul is as high as Mount Etna

but your loving is a stranger to me
