Hard Hearted Stranger Songtext

von Mandolin Orange

I'd follow you down in a hole
And lie with the best of men
They try to hold my head in the clouds
But one heartbeat can seem like a lifetime
In the arms of some devil you used to know

With that lost cause crime
Down the path that I've led
I'll be the hard hearted stranger to share your bed

Well hey, hey
Is it me, they say was wrong?
And my, my, if I could
Take it all away
Back to some better day I would

With eyes of a great pretender
Burning in my head
I'll be the hard hearted stranger to share your bed

With red on that horizon
And blue skies at my back
There's a whole world of trouble I've yet to find
Well I'm free but I'm lonely
Wishing I was easy
With a devil softly singing, "Take my hand"
I'll be the hard hearted stranger to share your bed
