Strange Walking Man - 1998 Remastered Version
There was a strange walking man
Leaving footsteps on my lawn.
He cried, "I can't understand.
My love left just before the dawn.
From velvet valleys of dreams
By her leaving I was drawn,
And in my sorrow it seems
That I'm too blind to see the dawn."
The misty morning heard his cries,
Felt tears from his poor wasted eyes.
"My love went with the sunrise
Wish I could see the sunrise
Wish I could see the sun today."
How could I stand and explain
The truth to his blind trusting eyes?
But could I love her again,
Knowing I won her love with lies?
The lonely strange walking man
Thanking me to help him see,
But could I just take his hand
And tell him she lay next to me?
I followed footprints he made in the frost
Across the dewy lawn where he was lost.
Is that his shadow I see?
Why does his face escape me?
Where is the strange walking man?
Now I'm a strange walking man,
And in my sorrow now it seems
That I'm a strange walking man,
Searching ... for a dream.
Now I'm a strange walking man—
FADE
