A Stranger In My Place lyrics

Song information

Artist: Joan Baez

Lyrics

I see the town
Where we were born
I see the place
We were raised
I see all the things you wanted
That I never gave

I see sadness
I see sorrow
I see pain in your face
But I just can't see
A stranger in my place

I can see now where we quarrelled
I can see now I was wrong
I can see where you might weaken
When I wasn't strong
I see mem'ries of a love gone bad
That time cannot erase
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

No one seems to know you quite like I do
No one knows the thigs that make you cry
Looking back it seems
I never showed you
And now I lay alone and wonder why

I can see now
Where you might grow tired of dreams
That don't come true
I can see where I have fallen short
Of the things I promised you
I can see mow throug my tear filled eyes no love on your face
I must get used to seein' strangers in my place
