Strangers To Me Lyrics

The city's it's a-buzzing

And everybody's talking

But I'm here, a-sitting on my own

Friends of yesterday

Who've got gone the righteous way

Or so they claim

When I catch them on the phone

Oh but I

I used to be

A sight they'd hope to see

But when my heart got blue

And my soul, damn weary too

Suddenly, my friends were like strangers to me

Was it when I wed Juliette

Or when Eileen never slept

Or when a beer, would send my straight to bed

Was it a little by a little

Like old hands on a fiddle

All I know is that one day my friends had fled

Oh but I

I used to be

A sight they'd hope to see

But when my heart got blue

And my soul, damn weary too

Suddenly, my friends were like strangers to me

The life I live, and the lives long gone

Places I've been, and the things I've done

Around the world I go

Down the narrow path I roll

From town to town, a loner passing through

And if there's one thing that I've learnt

Well a man's soul can't be hurt

If to his heart and to his mind

That man stays true

If to his heart and to his mind

That man stays true
