 Strangers In My Place
 I see the town
 Where we were born,
 I see the place
 We were raised,
 I see all the things you wanted
 That I never gave.
 
 I see sadness,
 I see sorrow,
 I see pain in your face,
 But I just can't see
 A stranger in my place.
 
 I can see now where we quarrelled,
 I can see now I was wrong,
 I can see where you might weaken
 When I wasn't strong.
 I see mem'ries of a love gone bad
 That time cannot erase,
 But I just can't see a stranger in my place.
 
 No one seems to know you quite like I do,
 No one knows the thigs that make you cry.
 Looking back it seems
 I never showed you,
 And now I lay alone and wonder why.
 
 I can see now
 Where you might grow tired of dreams
 That don't come true,
 I can see where I have fallen short
 Of the things I promised you.
 I can see mow throug my tear filled eyes no love on your face,
 I must get used to seein' strangers in my place.
 
 
 Joan Baez
