Don't Let Me Come Home a Stranger - Mary Black

As I walked out one evening

To breathe the air and sooth my mind

I thought of friends and the home I had

And all those things I left behind oh…

A silent star shone on me

My eyes saw the far horizon

As if to pierce this veil of time

And escape this earthly prison oh…

Will there come a time when the memories fade

And pass on with the long, long years?

When the ties no longer bind

Lord save me from this darkest fear

Don’t let me come home a stranger

I couldn’t stand to be a stranger

In this place so far from home

They know my name but they don’t know me

They hear my voice;

they see my face

But they can’t lay no claim on me oh…

As I walk this universe

I free my mind of time and space

I wander through the galaxy

But never do I find my place oh…
