The Silent Stranger You don't know where I have been You don't know what I have seen So, if I don't say nothing It's because, I'm recalling You don't know what I have done You do not know what was mine And if I am so silent Perhaps, I just can't repent I have seen people shot down In cold blood and just for fun So if I stare at the wall Don't try to give me a call I have been to hell and worse I may have seen paradise If I don't talk much at all It's because I've seen it all I have been hungry for days I have been scorned for my ways I have been lost for years But I have come back with cheers I've kissed the lips of angels I've touched the hearts of devils So don't treat me, a reject But show me some respect I have been around this world And I know what's in your world I can't be surprised, no more 'cos I, the silent stranger, know B.
