I left home Now I know for sure Hope is dark, farrowed & pure I feel heartache But this heartache I can bear A soft armrest for a weary SOUL I give them love but all they want is GOLD I feel heartache But this heartache I can bear But I've been gone so long There's a stranger There's a stranger There's a stranger Coming around my back door There's a stranger There's a stranger There's a stranger Coming around my back door Blood in veins It comes in waves Like courage unearned Like a life thrown away I feel heartache But this heartache I can bear Well girl just give me some sympathy Because this devils raging inside of me I feel heartache But this heartache I can bear And I've been got so long There's a stranger There's a stranger There's a stranger Coming around my back door There's a stranger There's a stranger There's a stranger Coming around my back door I needed love Like I needed a friend But It's so hard Lord It's so hard Lord I needed love Like I needed a prayer But it's so hard Lord It's so hard Lord I needed love Like I needed a friend But it's so hard Lord It's so hard Lord I needed money Like I needed a prayer But It's so hard Lord It's so hard Lord
