The Stranger I Love — текст песни (Kristofferson Kris)

I`ve been a simple man, and I`ve been insane
I`ve been a vagabond, and I`ve been a king
But I`ve been a better man just tryin` to please
The stranger I love
Lost in the wilderness, darker than pain
And drawn to her loneliness, just like a flame
The closer we come, the more that I lean
The stranger I love
Bad as I loved her, I ain`t afraid
We`ll be together, some lovin` way
I`ll be her lover just as long as I can
Then when it`s over, she`ll need a friend
So I`ll take her hand-me-downs; I`ll take the blame
I`ll ba a hang-around; I ain`t ashamed
`Cause the longer I love her, the more I believe
The stranger I love
