Jewel - Enter From The East Lyrics






I went out a-wandering
Beneath an unknown sky
the heavens al shook violently
He caught my eye
Strange fruit fell
It struck me to the core
My heart became a single flame
It wanted nothing more
Stranger, enter from the east
Stranger, step inside this place
Oh, and own me, own me,
The clock became a bullet hole
Cruel and unkind
It hurt me with its second hand
Alone another night
Stranger, enter from the east
Stranger, step inside this place
Blue, is that you?
Well, don't bother knocking on my door this time
Blue, go be true for someone else
There's no room inside this heart of mine
My heart has four empty rooms
Three wait for lightning and one waits for you
I must have you all to myself
Feel the full weight of your skin
I'll hollow out my insides
To place you in
Stranger, enter from the East
Stranger, step inside this place
Oh, and own me, own me

  6. A.... Q....

  7. G.... V....

    Is there a love deeper or darker than that between a woman and a man who are poets? Poor Jewel, what deep and passionate fans she must have. I hope they respect her privacy and life as much as they revere her.

  8. R.... C....

    I forgot about this song, takes me back

  9. n.... ....

    Beautifully haunting.

  10. M.... O....

    The Stranger from the East, is her Biological Father from the East, who has not ever been allowed to know her. It also goes along with the Poem "I Don't Suppose Raindrops" and how it says, someone lost out on the sounds of children's feet, and No Key No Combination will return them to His Side, for they have Decided No Answers will be given.
    Now How Would I know That ?

  11. J.... R....

    THIS woman is Angelic...*tear*....Luv Marcus to you Jewel!

    Jewel is the most beautiful woman ever!

  14. B.... C....

    Another song from this album, I love is the Absence of fear. Just gorgeous. ..

  15. B.... C....

    hauntingly beautiful. perfect words to describe this composition.

  16. B.... C....

    Not a holy roller, here. But I had always wondered if, with the lyrics
    "the heavens all shook violently"
    and "stranger, Enter from the East" "I'll hollow out my insides, to let you in" It makes me think of how it says when Christ returns, he will come from the East, and the whole "Heavens shaking violently," hollow out my insides to let you in, (being filled with Christ's love, after asking to "be saved". Im unsure as to her religious beliefs, but Enter from the East,and heavens shaking violently," is what caught my attention, about it. Nevertheless, she's simply angelic, and ethereal, in her writing, and voice.

    B.... C....

    One Question, what would, Blue Don't bother knocking on my door this time, be true to someone else, have to do with the second coming of Christ, read the last verse of the Old Testament, and Isaiah 49:12-23. Then her Biological Father is The Second Coming.

    B.... C....

    She is more spiritually evolved than 99% of the commentators of this song...

  17. A.... ....

    Hauntingly beautiful. Eerily erotic. Sad but true.

  18. J.... V....

    I must have you all to myself
    Feel the full weight of your skin
    I'll hollow out my insides
    To place you in

    J.... V....

    this part of the song kills me every time

    J.... V....

    This Song is ABOUT Me !!!!

    He caught my eye
    Strange fruit fell
    It struck me to the core
    My heart became a single flame
    It wanted nothing more
    Stranger, enter from the east
    Stranger, step inside this place
    Oh, and own me, own me, 
    The clock became a bullet hole
    Cruel and unkind
    It hurt me with its second hand
    Alone another night

    I wonder if anyone has any idea what the True Meaning of this Song is. I bet Stranger from the East, is Jewel's Biological Father who has never been allowed to Know her and visa-versa, just as the Poem "I Don't Suppose Raindrops" says someone lost out on the sounds of children's feet, no key no combination will return them to his side, for they have decided no answers will be given".

    Will always be my favorite Jewel song. Beautiful and haunting.

    This Song eats at my soul, for im stranger blue, i met Lanedra Carroll Saturday night September 1,1973 @ an LRY Conference Toronto Canada, google Liberal Religious Youth, i know her mom was Mormon, but we met at a Unitarian Church on St. Clair Blvd Toronto. Nedra's brother gave me his sister's hand in marriage because i had a draft card for the Vietnam War and my random # was 027 out of 365 days for the year i was born 1955, in my attempts to go to Alaska from Niagara Fall's my parents had the Dr 's give me lithium the after i failed in my first attempt, and the same Dr gave me lithium and electric shock treatments after my second attempt. I also took an overdose of 100 hits of LSD on the way to the Hospital that second time in the back seat of my parents car. I woke up out of that acid trip August 25,1974 after i won my third Special Olympics Medal. I always had a slight memory of a daughter from an unknown location in Alaska, in 1983 during Basic Training at Fort Benning Georgia i told John Travolta (he was in my platoon, and in 2005 he told both Jay Leno and David Letterman that year's ago he was in a WWII movie and to feel like he was in the Army he went through basic training only) after John pulled his trigger out of his M-16, our drill sargent told him he didn't have any of those little pins that holds the trigger in the M-16, in his desk drawer and if he has to go to the armour to get one we will both be court Marshalled, and if the sergeant looses his daughter over this he will kill John. That's when I turned to John Travolta and told him I have a Daughter in Alaska named Jewel and if I knew were she lived I'd be there and not here. I was 27 year's old then. John was 28 year's old, was already in welcome back Kotter, Grease, and Saturday night Fever, before he was in basic training. Also in 2013 Jewel was singing at the Seneca Niagara Casino and I bought tickets to see her & asked security if I could give her a gift (a Celtic Harp) security barred me from the concert gave me my money back. I wrote to the vice president of security at that casino and warned him bad things happen to people that Fuck with me. I received a second letter from that person in June 2013 barring me from every Seneca Indian Venue for life, singed by Steve Washburn vice president of security Seneca Niagara Casino, in July 2013 Steve Washburn dropped Dead. On the night of Jewel' s concert at that casino I was singing karaoke at two different bar's, And on the satellite jukebox I found a CD with John Travolta and Jewel singing together. Jewel is my first born. And John Travolta's first born died unfortunately. GOD works in strange ways, now you know my side of this FUCKED UP Situation. Or as Jewel sings, Foolish Game's, but her mother refused to write down her address for me that night we met in Toronto, telling me I had to find my own way to her unknown location in Alaska to prove that I LOVE Her. All I have are these two Gold and one Silver Special Olympic Medals they are my reward for loosing my memory of my imaginary wife and daughter Jewelry according to my family.
