Zita Swoon - Shall I let this good man in lyrics

rate me

Hey, Stranger

Would you come in through my door

If not now I`ll leave it ajar

And then maybe you could come back

I`ll be waiting here for you

I`ll be hoping here for you

I`ll be praying here that you`ll believe it`s true

That in all these lonely years

I would have loved your company

But I never could give in

To this fragile side of me

You see I`ve always been a man of great ambition

But success just turned his back & never came

And now I find I became a man

Of even greater solitude

And I wish I`d spend more time making friends

With guys like you

Oh, Stranger

How can I make you stay?

For a little while

Oh, Stranger

Please, don`t go away

I`m living on

I`m singing on

Just let me sing one song for you

Hey, Stranger

This is my song

It is old & it is wrinkle

I tried it for too long

I tried it time after time

To forget about myself

And to hide in it a while

But a while`s been goin` on

Since I can`t remember when

And got catched up by the life

Of a lost & lonely man

I think I`m-a sung away a little faster

Then I planned

Hey, Stranger

This is my life

I can`t use it anymore

For I share it with no one but myself

I can`t fool you anymore

Let me hide with you a while

Let me try a little while

And then maybe

You`ll believe it`s true

That in all the years I spent

With the glory of a fool

Making diamonds outta tears

On the highest bid to go

I`ve been searching for a friend

To tell my troubles to

But I could never understand

How to get out of that cell

Please don`t send me back to hell
