Shall I Let This Good Man In Lyrics

Shall I Let This Good Man In lyrics

Hey, stranger

Would you come in through my door

If not now I'll
leave it ajar

And then maybe you could come back

I'll be waiting
here for you

I'll be hoping here for you

I'll be praying here that
you'll believe it's true

That in all these lonely years

I would I
have loved your company

But I never could give in

To this fragile
side of me

You see I've always been a man of great ambition

But
success just turned his back and never came

And now I find I became a
man

Of even greater solitude

And I wish I'd spend more time making
friends

With guys like you

Oh, stranger

How can I make your
stay? 

For a little while

Oh, stranger

Please, don't go away




I'm living on

I'm singing on

Just let me sing one
song for you 



Hey, stranger

This is my song

It is old
and it is ragged

I tried it for too long

I tried it time after
time

To forget about myself

And to hide in it a while

But a
while's been goin' on

Since I can't remember when

And got catched
up by the life

Of a lost and lonely man

I think I'm-a sung away a
lttle faster

Then I planned 



Hey, stranger

This is my
life

I can't use it anymore

For I share it with no one but
myself

I can't fool you anymore

Let me hide with you a while

Let me try a little while

And then maybe

You'll believe it's
true

That in all the years I spent

With the glory of a fool

Making diamonds outta tears

On the highest bid to go

I've been
searching for a friend

To tell my troubles to

But I could never
understand

How to get out of that cell

Please don't send me back to
hell
