Paroles de Love Song To A Stranger
Joan Baez26841
How long since I've spent a whole
Night in a twin bed with a stranger
His warm arms all around me
How long since I've gazed into
Dark eyes that melted my soul down
To a place where it longed to be?
All of your history has little to do
With your face;
You're mainly a mystery with
Violins filling in space.
You stood in the nude by the mirror
And picked out a rose
From the bouquet in our hotel
And laid down beside me again,
And I watched the rose
On the pillow as it fell.
I sank and I slept in a twilight
With only one care -
To know that when day broke and I woke
That you'd still be there.
The hours, for once,
They passed slowly, unendingly by
Like a sweet breeze on a field;
Your gentleness came down upon me
And I guess I thanked you
When you caused me to yield
We spoke not a sentence
And took not a footstep beyond
Our two days together
Which seemingly soon would be gone.
Don't tell me of love everlasting -
And other sad dreams -
I don't want to hear.
Just tell me of passionate strangers
Who rescue each other
From a lifetime of cares.
And if love means forever,
Expecting nothing returned,
Then I hope I'll be given
Another whole lifetime to learn.
'cause I took from you
Oh so many things
It makes me wonder how they could
Belong to me,
And I gave you only my dark eyes which
Melted your soul down to a place
Where it longed to be -
