Stranger Comes to Town

It’s a long, dark river my boat sails on
Down to the murky sea
Where a beam of goodness in your light
Serves to comfort me
It’s a distant, magical land I seek
A desperate refugee
A rebel who has lost his way
But found the buried key
So it’s all right
Love won’t let you down
Safe on a good night
Stranger comes to town
If you find him wearing his old tin hat
Beware the common saint
Who could lead you down a reckless path
To where the good guys ain’t
We could hold each other in common prayer
Our babies close at hand
We could live like drifters
Rolling on towards the promised land
So it’s all right
If love don’t let you down
Safe on a good night
Stranger comes to town
So don’t let me down
Please let me breathe
God won’t let me down
He knows I wanna please
So it’s all right
If love don’t let you down
Safe on a good night
Stranger comes to town
So don’t let me down
Please let me breathe
God won’t let me down
He knows I wanna please
I could close my compass and sail on free
And find the missing men
Oh, I could lose my bearings like before
And lose myself again
When you find your lot in a crowded wood
With no way through the trees
And that old, sweet promise of something good
Pulls you to your knees
Well it’s all right
If love don’t let you down
Safe on a good night
Stranger comes to town
