mandrake paddle steamer - strange walking man lyrics

[verse 1]
there was a strange walking man
leaving footsteps on my lawn
he cried, “i can’t understand
my love left just before the dawn
from velvet valleys of dreams
by her leaving i was drawn
and in my sorrow it seems
that i’m too blind to see the dawn.”

[verse 2]
the misty morning heard his cries
felt tears from his poor wasted eyes
“my love went with the sunrise
wish i could see the sun rise
wish i could see the sun today.”
how could i stand and explain
the truth to his blind trusting eyes?
but could i love her again
knowing i won her love with lies?
[verse 3]
the lonely strange walking man
begging me to help him see
but could i just take his hand
and tell him she lay next to me?
i followed footprints he made in the frost
across the dewy lawn where he was lost
is that his shadow i see?
why does his face escape me?
where is the strange walking man?

[verse 4]
now i’m a strange walking man
and in my sorrow now it seems
that i’m a strange walking man
searching blindly for a dream
now i’m a strange walking man
and in my sorrow now it seems…

[instrumental ending]
