A Stranger Song

(album: Joni Was Right - 2016)

Once there was a stranger
Living in my house
Some knew its hands, knew its mouth.
I thought that I could love him
I thought we were the same
But the more I knew him
The stranger he became.

And somewhere in the distance
Is the day that we met
Slowly moving in
To see how close we'd get.
I'm right here at the ending,
just like I started out,
with a stranger in my house.

Once there was a stranger
Sleeping in my bed
Wrapped around my heart
Wrapped around my legs.
I never thought his dreams
Would ever carry him away.
Would spread in darkness
In sunlight off and fades.

And somewhere in the distance
Is the day that we met
Slowly moving in
To see how close we'd get.
I'm right here at the ending,
just like I started out,
with a stranger, a stranger in my house.

Once there was a stranger
Living in my house
I knew its hands, I knew its mouth.
