I'm weary from this river It flows far but never nearer to my home And the war is upon the shores Keep the single girls indoors And so all my love songs fall on wasted ears
I grow tired of this highway It runs far but never my way Don't you know
But the company of strangers And the close and the present dangers Seem to pick me up like an old crow in the snow
Because I'm a stranger in a strange land Guess I left the world behind Yea my love is like the galaxy seems slow but it sure does shine And when I'm gone you'll know me by The friends I leave behind
I'm weary of this losing But what choice is there in choosing if you find Yourself a stanger in a stranger place With your beat up shoes and an old suitcase And a wristwatch that don't ever seem to tell the time
But there's a warm and a gentle feeling It ain't ever worth concealing what you see And the rains inside my brains keeps the memories contained But I miss you like the wind misses the trees
Because I'm a stranger in a strange land Guess I left the world behind But my love is like the galaxy seems slow but it sure does shine And when I'm gone you'll know me by The friends I leave behind
