作曲 : Leonard Cohen
It's  true  that  all  the  men  you  knew  were  dealers
who  said  they  were  through  with  dealing
Every  time  you  gave  them  shelter
I  know  that  kind  of  man
It's  hard  to  hold  the  hand  of  anyone
who  is  reaching  for  the  sky  just  to  surrender.
who  is  reaching  for  the  sky  just  to  surrender.
And  then  sweeping  up  the  jokers  that  he  left  behind
you  find  he  did  not  leave  you  very  much
not  even  laughter
Like  any  dealer  he  was  watching  for  the  card
that  is  so  high  and  wild
he'll  never  need  to  deal  another
He  was  just  some  Joseph  looking  for  a  manger
He  was  just  some  Joseph  looking  for  a  manger.
And  then  leaning  on  your  window  sill
he'll  say  one  day  you  caused  his  will
to  weaken  with  your  love  and  warmth  and  shelter
And  then  taking  from  his  wallet
an  old  schedule  of  trains,he'll  say
I  told  you  when  I  came  I  was  a  stranger.
But  now  another  stranger  seems  to  want  you  to  ignore  his  dreams
as  though  they  were  the  burden  of  some  other
O  you've  seen  that  man  before
his  golden  arm  dispatching  cards
but  now  it's  rusted  from  the  elbow  to  the  finger
And  he  wants  to  trade  the  game  he  plays  for  shelter
Yes  he  wants  to  trade  the  game  he  knows  for  shelter.
You  hate  to  watch  another  tired  man
lay  down  his  hand
like  he  was  giving  up  the  holy  game  of  poker
And  while  he  talks  his  dreams  to  sleep
you  notice  there's  a  highway
that  is  curling  up  like  smoke  above  his  shoulder
It's  curling  up  like  smoke  above  his  shoulder.
You  tell  him  to  come  in  sit  down
but  something  makes  you  turn  around
The  door  is  open  you  can't  close  you  shelter
You  try  the  handle  of  the  road
It  opens  do  not  be  afraid
It's  you  my  love,you  who  are  the  stranger
It  is  you  my  love,you  who  are  the  stranger.
Well,I've  been  waiting,I  was  sure
we'd  meet  between  the  trains  we're  waiting  for
I  think  it's  time  to  board  another
Please  understand,I  never  had  a  secret  chart
to  get  me  to  the  heart  of  this
or  any  other  matter
Well  he  talks  like  this
you  don't  know  what  he's  after
When  he  speaks  like  this,
you  don't  know  what  he's  after.
Let's  meet  tomorrow  if  you  chose
upon  the  shore,beneath  the  bridge
that  they  are  building  on  some  endless  river
Then  he  leaves  the  platform
for  the  sleeping  car  that's  warm
You  realize,he's  only  advertising  one  more  shelter
And  it  comes  to  you,he  never  was  a  stranger
And  you  say  ok  the  bridge  or  someplace  later.
And  then  sweeping  up  the  jokers
that  he  left  behind
you  find  he  did  not  leave  you  very  much
not  even  laughter
Like  any  dealer  he  was  watching  for  the  card
that  is  so  high  and  wild
he'll  never  need  to  deal  another
He  was  just  some  Joseph  looking  for  a  manger
He  was  just  some  Joseph  looking  for  a  manger.
And  leaning  on  your  window  sill
he'll  say  one  day  you  caused  his  will
to  weaken  with  your  love  and  warmth  and  shelter
And  then  taking  from  his  wallet
an  old  schedule  of  trains
he'll  say  I  told  you  when  I  came  I  was  a  stranger
I  told  you  when  I  came  I  was  a  stranger.
I  told  you  when  I  came  I  was  a  stranger.

we  are  the  stranger........
