I've been traveling in a sea of canyons
Packed my life in an old Chevy van
Tracing echoes of an old companion
Whispering off the grains of the desert sand
Ooh, ooh

My foolish heart confuses my directions
I found a stranger's door like a helpless child
Before me stands a man with a blank expression
Then some crazy words come bursting out of my mouth

Hey stranger
You've got an extra room to spare?
I've been coming from a long, long way
Hey stranger
You've got a little place to share?
I won't stay long, I'll be gone by the morning

Looking all around as I slowly enter
I say, "I'm liking what you've done to the place"
He says, "It's kept the same since last November
When I find something I love I never throw it away"
Ooh, ooh

But hey stranger
There's something that I've got to share
You see I've been missing you a long, long time
Hey stranger
The pain I can hardly bear
Since you've been gone I'm barely hanging on every morning

Hey stranger
You've got a little time to spare
Let's stay up and watch the sweet sunrise
Hey stranger
Can you take me somewhere?
And let's pretend like it was yesterday
Then he turns to me and says
Hey stranger
You know I'll take you anywhere, yes I will
You see, I'll be loving you a long, long time
Hey stranger
The pain I can hardly bear, oh
Let me hold you close
Baby, please don't go in the morning
Oh yeah
