I’m a Stranger Here

[Verse 1] Excuse me madam, would you mind Sparing a moment of your time? I wandered off the beaten track And now I can't find my way back Excuse me sir, may I intrude? I hope you do not think me rude I went out for a loaf of bread Now everything I love is dead [Chorus] I'm a stranger here, I'm a stranger here You can tell from my voice and my clothing of choice I'm a stranger here I'm a stowaway from the olden days And I'll play you a song from the place I come from If you like [Verse 2] When I was young they said to me This way towards modernity So if you ask where I come from I'll say, "The past" And wander on [Chorus] I'm a stranger here, I'm a stranger here You can tell from my tie and the fear in my eye I'm a stranger here I'm a stowaway from the olden days And I'll play you a song from the place I come from If you like, if you like [Outro] If you like
