A Stranger lyrics

[MAGGIE]
To see him here today
Without shoes, without a smile
It's hard to reconcile
With the man he was to me
He came into my life
With his broken disposition
I had my suspicion
He remained a mystery

A stranger, a stranger
Hoping for a future
In our dusty little town
A stranger, a stranger
How was I to know
He could never settle down?

It hasn't been that long
Since I've been without him
There's not much about him
I can recollect or tell
A picnic in the rain
A walk we may have taken
But I could be mistaken
I don't remember well
A stranger, a stranger
Never gave a reason
Why he came here on his own
A stranger, a stranger
Though we were together
I always felt alone

Strange to think today
We could be living life together
Talking about whether we should
Prune the cherry tree
At the kitchen table
Could you pass the gravy?
Should we have a baby?
It was never gonna be

A stranger, a stranger
Held me in his arms
Not so very long ago
A stranger, a stranger
The man I was to marry
Was a man I didn't know
