Just arrived on the seventen Thought I'd see the old gang again But you know how they come and go -- I'm just a stranger in town
Everywhere, everyone I see Seems to wonder who I can be; And I swear, no one seems to care About a stranger in town
I saw a cottage on a lonely old street The weeds have grown 'round the gate; Somehow I felt that you would wait here, my sweet; But it looks like I'm too late
Guess I'll leave on the twelve - oh - two Can't believe that there's no more you; Is there nothing for me? Will I always be A stranger in my own home town
