Stranger
Epic Tale of Longing: Stranger's Journey Through Loss and Love
Lyrics
In the lowlands boy he did wander
In the lowlands, a boy wandered.
In the lowlands boy he did roam
In the lowlands, the boy roamed.
Oh, so neglected, so far away from his home
He was neglected and far from home.
He spoke out where is my mother
He asked, "Where is my mother?"
He rushed out a mournful cry
He cried out mournfully.
Oh, his dear mother, her pillow, she had died
His dear mother had passed away.
Bitter the night, loud roared the thunder
The night was bitter, and thunder roared.
Bitter the night, loud was the sound
The night was bitter, and the sound was loud.
Oh, his dear father had fallen now and drowned
His dear father had fallen and drowned.
On the beach, cold rolled the water
Cold water rolled on the beach.
On the edge, no one to save
On the edge, with no one to save.
Oh, in this danger with rising lapping waves
Danger surrounded him with rising waves.
One sweet voice she heard through her window
A sweet voice reached her through the window.
In her house, she lay him inside
She brought him into her house.
Oh, how her tears saved him where he lied
Her tears saved him where he lay.
She begged out unto her father
She pleaded with her father.
She begged out don't let us leave him
She begged not to leave him, though he's a stranger.
Though he's a stranger, so far from his home
Despite being a stranger, far from his home.
For many long years, he labored and loved her
For many years, he worked and loved her.
For many long years, he labored then left her
For many years, he labored and then left her.
Well oh, he's a stranger, so far from his home
He remains a stranger, far from his home.
In the lowlands boy he did wander
In the lowlands, the boy wandered again.
In the lowlands boy he did roam
In the lowlands, the boy continued to roam.
Oh, so neglected, so far away from his home
He was still neglected and far from his home.
