[00:04.25] It's true that all the men you knew were dealers [00:08.73] Who said they were through with dealing [00:11.51] Every time you gave them shelter [00:15.52] I know that kind of man [00:17.79] It's hard to hold the hand of anyone [00:20.47] Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender [00:25.55] Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender [00:31.34] And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind [00:36.11] You find he did not leave you very much, not even laughter [00:42.25] Like any dealer, he was watching for the card [00:46.30] That is so high and wild [00:48.58] He'll never need to deal another [00:52.46] He was just some Joseph looking for a manger [00:57.38] He was just some Joseph looking for a manger [01:03.04] And then leaning on your window sill [01:06.48] He'll say one day you caused his will [01:09.33] To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter [01:14.05] And then taking from his wallet [01:16.47] An old schedule of trains, he'll say [01:19.11] "I told you when I came, I was a stranger" [01:23.05] "I told you when I came, I was a stranger" [01:25.35] But now another stranger seems [01:28.03] To want you to ignore his dreams [01:30.78] As though they were the burden of some other [01:35.44] Oh, you've seen that man before [01:37.79] His golden arm dispatching cards [01:40.22] But now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger [01:45.94] And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter [01:50.98] Yes, he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter [01:56.95] Ah, you hate to watch another tired man [02:00.63] Lay down his hand [02:02.33] Like he was giving up the holy game of poker [02:07.48] And while he talks his dreams to sleep [02:10.25] You notice there's a highway [02:12.65] That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder [02:17.47] It's curling just like smoke above his shoulder [02:23.93] You tell him to come in, sit down [02:26.51] But something makes you turn around [02:28.91] The door is open, you can't close your shelter [02:33.84] You try the handle of the road [02:36.36] It opens, do not be afraid [02:38.42] It's you, my love, you, who are the stranger [02:43.92] And it's you, my love, you, who are the stranger [02:50.13] Well, I've been waiting, I was sure [02:52.51] We'd meet between the trains we're waiting for [02:55.47] I think it's time to board another [03:00.52] Please, understand, I never had a secret chart [03:04.23] To get me to the heart of this or any other matter [03:10.63] When he talks like this, you don't know what he's after [03:15.78] When he speaks like this, you don't know what he's after [03:22.15] Let's meet tomorrow, if you choose [03:24.79] Upon the shore, beneath the bridge [03:27.64] That they are building on some endless river [03:32.49] Then he leaves the platform for the sleeping car that's warm [03:36.27] You realize he's only advertising one more shelter [03:42.68] And it comes to you, he never was a stranger [03:47.88] And you say, "Okay, the bridge or someplace later" [03:54.10] And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind [03:57.83] You find he did not leave you very much, not even laughter [04:04.37] Like any dealer, he was watching for the card [04:08.36] That is so high and wild [04:10.76] He'll never need to deal another [04:14.71] He was just some Joseph looking for a manger [04:19.44] He was just some Joseph looking for a manger [04:25.83] And leaning on your window sill [04:28.57] He'll say one day you caused his will [04:31.72] To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter [04:36.45] And then taking from his wallet [04:38.88] An old schedule of trains, he'll say [04:41.43] "I told you when I came, I was a stranger" [04:46.39] "I told you when I came, I was a stranger" [04:51.25] "I told you when I came I was a stranger" [04:55.17] "I told you when I came I was a stranger" [04:55.61]
