Brian Houser - Stranger In This Town Lyrics

May your eyes have mercy on the likes of this stranger,
For I am alone and have no place to go.
I have danced at the door to the den of the devil,
But I have not tainted my soul.
And the words that I'm crying is a dream that lay dying
Of a love, a love that is no more.
May your eyes have mercy on the likes of this stranger,
As I lay my heart at your door.
Can you see on the horizon the storm that is coming?
The smell's in the air like the sweet taste of sin.
I stand on your doorstep, my clothes are all tattered,
Oh won't you please let me in?
And the words that I'm crying is a dream that lay dying
Of a love, a love that up and ran.
May your eyes have mercy on the likes of this stranger,
As I lay my heart in your hands.
I have squandered my youth and fortunes
On words that were spoken untrue,
And the weight of my load's left me broken and cold
So I leave my redemption to you.
May your eyes have mercy on the likes of this stranger,
For I am alone and have no place to go.
It's a long, hard, cold lonely road that I've traveled,
Oh won't you please take my soul?
It's a voice that is crying, it's a dream that lay dying,
It's a love that won't be back no more.
May your eyes have mercy on the likes of this stranger,
Oh won't you please, oh won't you please,
Save my soul.
