Lyrics You Were a Stranger - Rhett Miller

You Were a Stranger

Wind blew hard
Rain pelted the car
I squeezed the wheel and I held it together
You rode along
Whistlin' a song
Knowing you were next to me made me feel better, like
Here we are
For the one-hundredth time
Laughin' in the face of danger
There you are
Thank God that you’re mine
I don’t know what I’d do if you were a stranger
Wind blew hard
Rain flooded the yard
I was in exile, my next move was crucial
You were a friend
Of a friend of a friend
Thank God a strange twist of fate introduced us, then
There we were
For the very first time
Lookin' for adventure
You would wind up
My partner in crime
I did not know that yet-you were a stranger
Here we are
For the one-millionth time
Laughin' in the face of danger
There you are
Thank God that you’re mine
Don’t know what I’d do if you were a stranger
I don’t know what I’d do if you were a stranger
