A stranger came and sat beside me
In the park and said
There are things you can't have known
He looked at me as if we'd been friends
For a thousand years
His black eyes shook me to the bone
Come away, come away to a place
You've only lived inside your heart
Where and when
Where and when
To be determined
Where and when
Before we start
We walked ourselves down a path
Then beyond the woods, you said
Over there lies your destiny
How will you get there
Well, it all depends on you, you see
Will you be vengeful
Will you love your enemy
Come away, come away to a life
You've not begun to chart
What could I say except I'm grateful for your concern
And the way you look out for me
No one else has thought to even give me a call
Everyone else is absentee
The stranger and me we walked a little further
Up the road a piece
Till he said
It's time for you to take it from here
We bid farewell and with a tear in my eye
I said, I'm really gonna miss all your good cheer
Then come away, come away and we'll live
A life together but apart
