Stranger

Behind the Veil, Behind the Veil
I think I've been here before, I know these walls that table
I used to sleep on the floor before ****
What did we come here for
If I was still strong and stable
I could walk through the door, but I can't
Brother, brother, trouble--it don't have to wait till the death of our dreams to get going
Nothing can cover up pain like the silver of spade will but
Your love gives enough to go on
Your heart's a calloused fist, with knuckles sharp and bruising
But I don't pretend as if they ain't like mine
Your heart's a hand that clings, so tight it's cracked and bleeding
To the feathered wing that ever keeps its prime
Sister, sister this will last past with hate we'll be pressing our faces to the ground
Nothing can cover up pain like the silver of spade will but
Your love gives enough to press on and on
Oohhh...
I think I've seen you before
Your smile was toothy, beautiful
Please forgive me **** looking you in the eyes
What did you come here for
If I was still strong and stable, I could move on the floor ****
Stranger, stranger, these dangerous hours and days will
Soon be laid to waste on the sand
Nothing can cover up pain like the silver of spade will but
I still want you as a friend (x2)
Stranger, please change your heart to be friendly (x2)
Stranger help me change my heart to be friendly (x2)
