[Verse]
Each night I come home tired
From the docks to her soft bed
There's always a strange fella
Where my clothes should rest instead
Said he’s fixing the window
Said he’s mending the worn thread
And my foolish heart
Believes the words that she has said
[Verse 2]
Last night it was the plumber
With his wrench and his old hat
She said the pipes were leaking
And sure who am I to doubt that
As I lay me down beside her
My mind at peace at last
But her stories and her whispers
They are weaving a deep cast
[Chorus]
Oh
Who be that stranger
Lying where I should rest my head?
She speaks of fables and tales
As my faith slowly fled
In the shadows of our chambers
Where our love should be bred
Each night I come home tired
To a stranger in me bed
[Verse 3]
Tonight it was the doctor
With a stethoscope of lies
Checking for the sickness
Hidden in her secret eyes
Yet I come and kiss her forehead
Believe there's naught to despise
Though a thousand wicked whispers
Haunt the air where darkness flies
[Verse 4]
She said it was the baker
With flour on his hands
Needed dough to rise by morning
For his crumbling lilliputian lands
And so I crawl in silence
And drift to dreamtime's sands
But the ache ‘neath my pillow
It's where the true tale stands
[Chorus]
Oh
Who be that stranger
Lying where I should rest my head?
She speaks of fables and tales
As my faith slowly fled
In the shadows of our chambers
Where our love should be bred
Each night I come home tired
To a stranger in me bed
