A Stranger Song

For you my love, for you my love
 For you my love, for you my love
 So barricade the doors and stop the heart
 That you've been holding
 And throw the words you hold so dear
 From the letter you've been softly folding
 When they finish boarding up the house
 There'll be nothing left to see, oh to see
 Just a stranger taking his last breath
 Upon the guillotine
 Your neighbors they were fighters
 But they hung the man you killed
 Before the sins had left their hands
 Their bodies were fulfilled
 Where the wings that sting the borderline
 Words fall softly to the floor
 A woman's love can cause a man to spill his every flaw
 On you my love, on you my love
 On you my love, on you my love
 Does your heart beat so softly without warning?
 And does it beat out to the slow pace of the morning?
 When you close your eyes after all that you see, that you see
 Will you let the strangers be?
 The train it hits the railroad and it cowers under flies
 It's painted by a man itself so it doesn't creep it cries
 You have seen the passageway
 But you trembled at the start, oh at the start
 You have always seen the strangers play
 And let them frolic with your heart
 And it's another chance to make amends
 But they dabble with your code
 You're lost without a wolf or beast
 To stop you in the road
 And he's sitting quietly in his cell
 And counting down its stones
 Well, a woman with your kind of heart will always be alone
 Well, a woman with your kind of heart will always be alone
 With him my love love, with my love
 With him my love, my love, my love
 With him my love
 Does your heart beat so softly without warning?
 And does it beat out to the slow pace of the morning?
 Oh, when you close your eyes after all that you see, that you see
 Will you let the strangers be?
 Will you let the strangers be?
 For you my love, for you my love, my love
 For you my love, always for you my love
