Wandering stranger, now apart,
Wandering stranger, far of heart,
Come back to me, just once, I pray,
Since eyes first met, that fateful day,
Don't steal the sight, and fade away.
Wandering stranger, now apart.
You made those vows, so sweet and deep,
You swore your oaths, my love to keep,
On promises, my life I spend,
For hope of your return, I bend,
Upon your promise, I depend,
In deepest hope, my heart will weep.
So great my longing, vast and true,
So great my longing, just for you,
Forget me not, I plead and crave,
Since eyes first met, the life you gave,
Don't steal the sight, beyond the grave,
Wandering stranger, lost from view.
The world now steals, and closes near,
The world now steals, and fills with fear,
And on my tongue, no other name,
Than yours I whisper, in the flame,
And yours I whisper, in the game,
My heart in tears, the world will jeer.
Don't let the world, my sorrow see,
Don't let the world, look down on me,
Don't make me weep, so bitterly,
Since eyes first met, eternally,
Don't steal the sight, for all to see,
Wandering stranger, wild and free.
Don't be another's, far and wide,
When you are mine, and by my side,
Don't be another's, left behind,
When you are mine, for heart and mind,
Come close, don't vanish, leave me blind,
When you are mine, where souls reside.
The words you spoke, of love and grace,
The words you spoke, time cannot erase,
Fulfill those words, in every way,
Since eyes first met, without delay,
Don't steal the sight, and go astray,
Wandering stranger, lost in space.
Wandering stranger, now apart,
Wandering stranger, far of heart,
Come back to me, just once, I pray,
Since eyes first met, that fateful day,
Don't steal the sight, and fade away.
Wandering stranger, now apart.
