Stranger, Please Don't Go

from Quiet Songs by Tom Woodward

lyrics

Brother, please leave me
Stranger, please don't go
Aint it easy to whisper
The truth of your mind
To someone who you'll
Never know

There's a fiddler on the corner
She's got no feathers left on her bow
She will shiver all night
Through the winter light
In the station
Where the black mould grows

I look in the river's reflection
I got the preacher's disease in my eyes
But I'll never tell the truth
That no-one don't already know
So I wrap up these words
In melody's disguise

The gods are young and skinny
They make up a brand new disease
It spreads like cold
In winter time
Till there's nobody else
Left to freeze
