The Stranger Song

It's true that all the men you knew were dealerswho said they were through with dealingEvery time you gave them shelterI know that kind of manIt's hard to hold the hand of anyonewho is reaching for the sky just to surrender.

And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behindyou find he did not leave you very muchnot even laughterLike any dealer he was watching for the cardthat is so high and wildhe'll never need to deal anotherHe was just some Joseph looking for a mangerHe was just some Joseph looking for a manger.

And then leaning on your window sillhe'll say one day you caused his willto weaken with your love and warmth and shelterAnd then taking from his walletan old schedule of trains, he'll sayI told you when I came I was a strangerI told you when I came I was a stranger.

But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreamsas though they were the burden of some otherO you've seen that man beforehis golden arm dispatching cardsbut now it's rusted from the elbow to the fingerAnd he wants to trade the game he plays for shelterYes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter.

You hate to watch another tired manlay down his handlike he was giving up the holy game of pokerAnd while he talks his dreams to sleepyou notice there's a highwaythat is curling up like smoke above his shoulderIt's curling up like smoke above his shoulder.

You tell him to come in sit downbut something makes you turn aroundThe door is open you can't close your shelterYou try the handle of the roadIt opens do not be afraidIt's you my love, you who are the strangerIt is you my love, you who are the stranger.

Well, I've been waiting, I was surewe'd meet between the trains we're waiting forI think it's time to board anotherPlease understand, I never had a secret chartto get me to the heart of thisor any other matterWell he talks like thisyou don't know what he's afterWhen he speaks like this,you don't know what he's after.

Let's meet tomorrow if you chooseupon the shore, beneath the bridgethat they are building on some endless riverThen he leaves the platformfor the sleeping car that's warmYou realize, he's only advertising one more shelterAnd it comes to you, he never was a strangerAnd you say ok the bridge or someplace later.

And then sweeping up the jokersthat he left behindyou find he did not leave you very muchnot even laughterLike any dealer he was watching for the cardthat is so high and wildhe'll never need to deal anotherHe was just some Joseph looking for a mangerHe was just some Joseph looking for a manger.

And leaning on your window sillhe'll say one day you caused his willto weaken with your love and warmth and shelterAnd then taking from his walletan old schedule of trainshe'll say I told you when I came I was a strangerI told you when I came I was a stranger.

Pjesma stranca

Istina je da su svi muškarci koje si poznavala bili kockariKoji su rekli da su s kockanjem gotoviSvaki put kad im pružila utočišteZnam tu vrstu tipovaTeško je držati za ruku ikogaTko ju u zrak diže samo da bi se predao*

I onda skupljaš adute koje je ostavio za sobomOtkriješ da ti nije puno toga ostavioČak ni smijehKao svaki kockar, gledao je kartuKoja je tako sretna i bitnaDa nikad više neće morati dijeliti karteOn je bio samo neki Josip u potrazi za jaslicamaOn je bio samo neki Josip u potrazi za jaslicama

I onda naslonjen na prozorsku dasku,Reći će kako si uzrokovala da njegova voljaOslabi svojom ljubavlju, toplinom i skloništemI onda vadeći iz novčanikastari vozni red za vlakove, reći ćeRekao sam ti kad sam došao da sam stranacRekao sam ti kad sam došao da sam stranac

Ali sada drugi stranac čini se želi da zanemariš njegovesnoveKao da su nečiji tuđi teretO, vidjela si toga čovjeka ranijeNjegovu zlatnu ruku dok isporučuje karteAli sad je zahrđala od lakta do prstaI želi mijenjati igru, on igra za skloništeDa, želi mijenjati igru, on zna za sklonište

Mrziš gledati još jednoga umornog čovjekakako spušta rukuKao da napušta svetu igru pokeraI dok priča svoje snove da bi zaspaoPrimjećuješ da postoji autocestaŠto vijuga kao dim iznad njegova ramena.

Kažeš mu da uđe i sjedneAli nešto te tjera da se okrenešVrata su otvorena, ne možeš zatvoriti skloništePokušaš bravu od cesteOtvoreno je, ne boj seTo si ti, moja ljubavi, ti koji si stranacTo si ti, moja ljubavi, ti koji si stranac

Pa, čekala sam, bila sam sigurnaDa ćemo se sresti između vlakova koje čekamoMislim da je vrijeme da se ukrcam na drugiMolim te, razumij, nikad nisam imao tajnu kartuda me odvede do srca ovog svegaIli bilo što drugoPa, on tako kažeNe znaš kakav će biti kasnijeKad tako pričaNe znaš kakav će biti kasnije

Hajdemo dočekati sutra ako tako izaberešuz obalu, ispod mostakoji grade preko neke nepregledne rijekeI onda ostavlja peronRadi spavaćih kola u kojima je toploShvaćaš, on samo reklamira još jedno skloništeI dođe ti u glavu, nikad nije bio stranacI kažeš OK, most ili negdje drugdje kasnije

I onda skupljaš adute koje je ostavio za sobomOtkriješ da ti nije puno toga ostavioČak ni smijehKao svaki kockar, gledao je kartuKoja je tako sretna i bitnaDa nikad više neće morati dijeliti karteOn je bio samo neki Josip u potrazi za jaslicamaOn je bio samo neki Josip u potrazi za jaslicama

I onda naslonjen na prozorsku dasku,Reći će kako si uzrokovala da njegova voljaOslabi svojom ljubavlju, toplinom i skloništemI onda vadeći iz novčanikastari vozni red za vlakove, reći ćeReći će rekao sam ti kad sam došao da sam stranacRekao sam ti kad sam došao da sam stranac
