I've been traveling in a sea of canyons
Packed my life in an old Chevy van
Tracing echoes of an old companion
Whispering off the grains of the desert sand
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
My foolish heart confuses my directions
I pound a stranger's door like a helpless child
Before me stands a man with a blank expression
And some crazy words come bursting out my mouth
Hey, stranger
You got an extra room to spare?
I've been coming from a long, long way
Hey, stranger
You got a little place to share?
I won't stay long, I'll be gone by the morning
Looking all around as I slowly enter
I say, "I'm liking what you've done to the place"
He says, "It's kept the same since last November
When I find something I love, I never throw it away"
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
But hey, stranger
There's something that I've gotta share
You see, I've been missing you a long, long time
Hey, stranger
The pain I could hardly bear
Since you've been gone, I'm barely hanging on every morning
Hey, stranger
You got a little time to spare? (Oh yeah)
Let's stay up and watch the sweet sunrise
Hey, stranger
Can you take me somewhere?
Let's pretend like it was yesterday
Then he turns to me and says
Hey, stranger
You know I'd take you anywhere, yes, I will
You see, I've been loving you a long, long time
Hey, stranger
The pain I could hardly bear, no
Let me hold you close, baby, please don't go in the morning
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
