Letra de Stranger Lay Beside Me
I was bad, I was good Running wild through the woods While the branches above me were burning I was breathing the smoke I was starting to choke When a stranger lay beside meI was lost, I was found You were hanging around Moving slowly but headed for glory I was healed, I was hurt I was sinning in church When a stranger lay beside meI was snuffed, I was stoked There was love in us both And a buzzard was circling the valley I was chaff, I was wheat I was bone, I was meat When a stranger lay beside meI was close, I was far Feral cats in the car And a crack in the roof that kept dripping I was numb when I smiled I was built and defiled When a stranger lay beside meAnd the moon rose again And the snake shed its skin Every hand in the city was shaking We were kissed, we were clawed Given just to be robbed But we needed the love we were makingI was present and gone Said farewell and so long Then came back 'cause the street was too empty I was nursin' a bruise I thought for sure it was you When a stranger lay beside meI was strong, I was weak All the hens were asleep And the hawk's only kind 'cause he's hungry I was sold, I was bought I was promised a lot When a stranger lay beside meI was wrong, I was right You were poised in the light Both as evil as ever, and holy I was bitten and chewed Bound and gagged on the truth When a stranger lay beside meI was soft, I was hard The sky heavy with stars Never meant to surrender their meaning I was love, I was hate Stuffed and licking my plate When a stranger lay beside meI was chided and cheered We were reeking with fear That the world might return for its mercy I was mended and torn I was killed and reborn When a stranger lay beside meAnd the moon rose again And the snake shed it's skin And the back of the city was breaking We both took to it well Blind and feeling ourselves But we needed the love we were makingI was captured and free The sun set through the trees And time beat on the length of my body I was taught, I was teased In the nature of things When a stranger lay beside me
