Alone as I sit and watch the trees
Won't you tell me if I scream, will they bend down and listen to me?
And it makes me wonder if I know the words, will you come?
Or will you laugh at me? Or will I run?
ย
Little boy says to me, "Where you going now, son?"
I said, "I don't know where I'm going, boy, I only know where I'm from"
And it makes me wonder if the stars shine when my eyes close
Or does my brother's heart cry? I don't know
I'm a stranger in my home
Now that everybody's gone
Someone please talk to me, 'cause I feel you cry
And you're sitting with him
And I know I'll never see you again
ย
Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky
You see, I'm tired of feeling this pain, I'm tired of living my own little lie
And it makes me wonder when I see you in my dreams
Does it mean anything? Are you trying to talk to me?
I'm a stranger in my home
Tell me, are you feeling alone?
Someone tell me what to do, 'cause I'm feeling strong
And I wonder how you feel
Do you realize my pain is for real?
I see you in my dreams
And I wonder if you're looking down at me and smiling right now
Oh, yeah, I wanna know if it's true
When he looks at me, won't you tell me?
Does he realize he came down here, he took you too soon? Oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
And now my days are short and my nights are long
I lay down with memories of you that keep me going on, going on
And it makes me wonder as I sit and stare
Will I see your face again? Tell me, do you care?
I'm a stranger in my home
Living life on my own
Right now, I just can't see, 'cause I'm feeling weak
And my soul begins to bleed, oh
And no one's listening to me, not even the trees
Oh-oh, oh-no, no-no, nah-no
ย
Mm
