Travelin' Jed - Stranger to Me Lyrics

Heavy is the hand that's been holding me down
Hands chained, shackled and bound
Mountains crumbled, lightning clashed with the sea
The day I fell and breathed you into me

I think I heard something strange, I heard you calling my name
Danger, leave, you're just a stranger to me
No more down on my knees, no more "sweet baby please"
Danger, leave, you're just a stranger to me

These crowded streets, the looks and stares, but I see
Your eyes like spies, they're eager to share
Bygones should be bygones, when I say so long
Even my dog wants you gone!

I think I heard something strange, I heard you calling my name
Danger, leave, you're just a stranger to me
No more down on my knees, no more "sweet baby please"
Danger, leave, you're just a stranger to me

All I have is all I gave to you
Break my back like a slave, playing the fool
I'm finally throwing up my hands
In bloody waters, I sink among circling fins

I'm prayin' mercy mercy me, Lord, just let me be
I'll take that plane, I'll change my name if you would only leave
I'm prayin' mercy mercy me, Lord, just let me be
I'll take that plane, I'll change my name if you would only leave

I think I heard something strange, I heard you calling my name
Danger, leave, you're just a stranger to me
No more down on my knees, no more "sweet baby please"
Danger, leave, you're just a stranger to me

Just a stranger to me, just a stranger to me
Danger, leave, you're just a stranger to me
Just a stranger to me, just a stranger to me
Danger, leave, danger, leave, danger, leave
You're just a stranger to me
