| Sunset shimmers behind the distant plains
|
| Ink drops bursting into a fiery stain
|
| For one instant suspended against the blue
|
| Until the curtain fell and the day was through
|
| I heard a muffled scream come from a broken down shack
|
| Then an engine start but i didn’t turn back
|
| One man’s poison can take another man’s ground
|
| But sooner or later we all go down
|
| Love has brought us love will take us
|
| Whether the cards are for us or stacked against us
|
| Crooked time will weave it’s spell
|
| And wave you on before you’ll say farewell
|
| When one soul steps on another man’s road
|
| That soul’s burden became another man’s load
|
| Remorse comes after the deed is done
|
| But in the end we all just have to run
|
| We’re all strangers upon this land
|
| Covering up the trouble we’ve found
|
| We’re all strangers upon this land
|
| Reaching up til we all come down
|
| We’re all that sunset flowing red
|
| We’re all that blood that blow to the head
|
| Whose footsteps lie there in the clay
|
| Who pulled the trigger and got away
|
| One man’s love can be another man’s hate
|
| But when the coin is flipped it never comes too late
|
| Lives are lost and decisions made
|
| But in the end all of our debts get paid
|
| Someone somewhere is wounded does any one care at all?
|
| Someone somewhere needs you to help them up when they fall
|
| We’re all strangers upon this land
|
| Covering up the trouble we’ve found
|
| We’re all strangers upon this land
|
| Reaching up til we all come down
|
| Someone somewhere lights a candle flame
|
| For those that left that never came
|
| Others sleep easy til the dawn
|
| Somewhere up there another day is born
|
| We’re all strangers upon this land
|
| Covering up the trouble we’ve found
|
| We’re all strangers upon this land
|
| Reaching up til we all come down |
