[00:23.91]And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind [00:33.65]You find he did not leave you very much [00:36.77]Not even laughter [00:39.33]Like any dealer he was watching for the card [00:43.58]That is so high and wild [00:45.63]Hell never need to deal another [00:48.37]He was just some joseph looking for a manger [00:51.83]He was just some joseph looking for a manger. [00:58.81]And then leaning on your window sill [01:01.44]Hell say one day you caused his will [01:04.12]To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter [01:08.49]And then taking from his wallet [01:10.79]An old schedule of trains, hell say [01:13.35]I told you when I came I was a stranger [01:17.47]I told you when I came I was a stranger. [01:23.66]But now another stranger seems to want you to ignore his dreams [01:28.72]As though they were the burden of some other [01:32.78]O youve seen that man before [01:34.41]His golden arm dispatching cards [01:37.22]But now its rusted from the elbow to the finger [01:41.84]And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter [01:46.21]Yes he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter. [01:51.92]You hate to watch another tired man [01:55.41]Lay down his hand [01:56.66]Like he was giving up the holy game of poker [02:01.78]And while he talks his dreams to sleep [02:04.40]You notice theres a highway [02:06.27]That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder [02:10.58]Its curling up like smoke above his shoulder. [02:17.87]You tell him to come in sit down [02:21.39]But something makes you turn around [02:25.57]The door is open you cant close you shelter [02:30.31]You try the handle of the road [02:33.56]It opens do not be afraid [02:37.23]Its you my love, you who are the stranger [02:42.91]It is you my love, you who are the stranger. [02:47.46]Well, Ive been waiting, I was sure [02:49.34]Wed meet between the trains were waiting for [02:51.96]I think its time to board another [02:54.84]Please understand, I never had a secret chart [02:58.47]To get me to the heart of this [03:01.23]Or any other matter [03:03.85]Well he talks like this [03:05.72]You dont know what hes after [03:08.34]When he speaks like this, [03:09.78]You dont know what hes after. [03:14.27]Lets meet tomorrow if you chose [03:16.90]Upon the shore, beneath the bridge [03:19.48]That they are building on some endless river [03:23.85]Then he leaves the platform [03:25.47]For the sleeping car thats warm [03:27.28]You realize, hes only advertising one more shelter [03:32.95]And it comes to you, he never was a stranger [03:37.46]And you say ok the bridge or someplace later. [03:41.57]And then sweeping up the jokers [03:45.75]That he left behind [03:47.25]You find he did not leave you very much [03:50.37]Not even laughter [03:53.12]Like any dealer he was watching for the card [03:56.86]That is so high and wild [03:58.86]Hell never need to deal another [04:02.04]He was just some joseph looking for a manger [04:07.78]He was just some joseph looking for a manger. [04:09.15]And leaning on your window sill [04:10.85]Hell say one day you caused his will [04:13.18]To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter [04:17.86]And then taking from his wallet [04:19.98]An old schedule of trains [04:22.10]Hell say I told you when I came I was a stranger [04:25.35]I told you when I came I was a stranger.
