Story Behind The Song

Sweet...

Song Description

Having a baby! Here I sing my thoughts on what is in store for us...me, Ma and a child we have yet come to know and vica-versa.

Lyrics

LITTLE STRANGER
Words and Music by Marc Farley c. 1980

1. Hey Little Stranger, we?ve been waiting here so long

I thought I?d put a few of our own words in a song

After all the do?s and don?ts we?ve heard, the bottom line?s our own?

Hey, Little Stranger, welcome home!

2. And hey Little Stranger, this old world?s a crazy place

I see so many questions on that little stranger face

And I doubt if I can answer all the things you?ll need to know

But I?ll show you what I can before you go.

3. Hey, Little Stranger, what will you grow up to be?

A pirate or a poet or a player on TV

Or a long-sought desperado or a singer with the blues

The best you can grow up to be is you.

4. And, hey Little Stranger, I guess I?m a stranger too

And you?ll have to learn to know me just as I?ll learn to know you

And just because I?m bigger I won?t make you see like me

Little Strangers have their own eyes to see.

BRIDGE: Hey Little Stranger we?re all here so short a while

I will try and make it comfortable and help you find a smile

And perhaps as time rolls on and we must part again someday

You?ll help another Little Stranger on her way!

Tag: Hey, Little Stranger, we?ve been waiting here so long

We love you, Little Stranger, welcome home!
