Stranger on the Wind Lyrics

The wind was blowing and tumbling trees

And knocking bricks right out of my wall

While I was lying on the floor

Just hoping to live through it all

A stranger came blowing in like a kite

Shocking me with his knock on my door

I called to him, Come quickly inside

Come lay with me here on the floor

The feverish stranger was shivering

He was bone wet from the rain of the storm

I crawled for blankets from my bed

To cover him and keep him warm

Day turned to night and then night turned to day

Before the storm had died down for good

The stranger rose up from the floor

For in my house we had withstood

The stranger's eyes were deliberating

On a quandary that he now faced

He brought a ledger from his coat

And found a line that he erased

Thanking me for showing kindness to him

The stranger said, Now I must go away

I've souls to collect, just not yours

Though I'll visit again some day
