Stranger
stranger in a strange land
he looked at me like i
was the one who should run
we asked him to smile for a photograph
waited a while to see if we could
make him laugh

a soldier asked for a cigarette
his smiling face i can't forget
he looked like you across the street
but that's a long way here

and i wish you were here
and i wish you were here

stranger
a stranger in a strange land
he look at me like i
was the one who should run
i watched as he watched us
get back on the bus
i watched the way it was
the way it was when he was with us

and i really don't mind
sleeping on the floor
but i couldn't sleep after what i saw
i wrote this letter to tell you
the way i feel

i wish you were here
i wish you were here
to see what i could see
to hear
and i wish you were here
