Stranger in a Strange Land
Maybe I should find another town
Find another girl and settle down.
But it's hard to find a way to start anew
When the ships you meet are all just passing through.
Won't you come and take me by the hand
'Cause I am a stranger in a strange land.
Well this island, she is a gracious host
I'm a stranger but I'm no stranger than most
Heaven knows I didn't mean to make you cry
I'm just sorry that I didn't get to say goodbye.
Nothing ever turns out as it's planned.
When you are a stranger in a strange land.
Well you look like you could use a friend.
You need somebody to get you on the mend.
You lost your bearings, your religion and your sense.
And before too long you'll be on the road again.
'Cause when you build your house upon the sand
You end up a stranger in a strange land.
Someone come and take me by the hand
'Cause I am a stranger in a strange land.
Find another girl and settle down.
But it's hard to find a way to start anew
When the ships you meet are all just passing through.
Won't you come and take me by the hand
'Cause I am a stranger in a strange land.
Well this island, she is a gracious host
I'm a stranger but I'm no stranger than most
Heaven knows I didn't mean to make you cry
I'm just sorry that I didn't get to say goodbye.
Nothing ever turns out as it's planned.
When you are a stranger in a strange land.
Well you look like you could use a friend.
You need somebody to get you on the mend.
You lost your bearings, your religion and your sense.
And before too long you'll be on the road again.
'Cause when you build your house upon the sand
You end up a stranger in a strange land.
Someone come and take me by the hand
'Cause I am a stranger in a strange land.
