Baez Joan Come From The Shadows Love Song To A Stranger (3:55) (Joan Baez) How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin bed with a stranger His warm arms all around me How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down to a place where it longed to be? All of your history has little to do with your face; You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space. You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose from the bouquet in our hotel And laid down beside me again, and I watched the rose on the pillow as it fell. I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one care - To know that when day broke and I woke that you'd still be there. The hours, for once, they passed slowly, unendingly by Like a sweet breeze on a field; Your gentleness came down upon me And I guess I thanked you When you caused me to yield We spoke not a sentence And took not a footstep beyond our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone. Don't tell me of love everlasting - and other sad dreams - I don't want to hear. Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other from a lifetime of cares. And if love means forever, expecting nothing returned, Then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn. 'cause I took from you oh so many things It makes me wonder how they could belong to me, And I gave you only my dark eyes which melted your soul down to a place where it longed to be - |
