Joan Baez — A Stranger 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 on 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 memories 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 things that make you cry Looking back it seems I never showed you So now I lay alone and wonder why I can see now Where you might grow tired of dreams That won't come true I can see where I have fallen short Of the things I promised you I can see now through these tear filled eyes No love on your face I must get used to seein' strangers in my place
