Joan Baez - A Stranger In My Place Lyrics






I see the town
Where we were born,
I see the place
We were raised,
I see all the things you wanted
That I never gave.

I see sadness,
I see sorrow,
I see pain in your face,
But I just can't see
A stranger in my place.

I can see now where we quarrelled,
I can see now I was wrong,
I can see where you might weaken
When I wasn't strong.
I see mem'ries of a love gone bad
That time cannot erase,
But I just can't see a stranger in my place.

No one seems to know you quite like I do,
No one knows the things that make you cry.
Looking back it seems
I never showed you,
And now I lay alone and wonder why.

I can see now
Where you might grow tired of dreams
That don't come true,
I can see where I have fallen short
Of the things I promised you.
I can see mow through my tear filled eyes no love on your face,
I must get used to seein' strangers in my place.

    If angels were real, this is how they would sound.

  7. B.... F....

    This is the first version I remember hearing, as a track on her 1973 Come From The Shadows lp. I must have played the grooves right off it. So hit the nail on the head and with the depth and power only Joan could give it. I will be ever grateful to her for this version. Love you Joan!

  8. i.... w....

    The mature voice of Joan is just right for this song. Can"t quite picture what she would have made of it in the early days, suppose she would not have recorded it back then?? Its good isn"t It.

  9. P.... G....

    it's great song

  10. t.... ....

    She just sings the eff out of this song.
