Deacon Blue

Beautiful Stranger

Seven lonely days in a fifty ton lorry

I know you made me what I am

And I fall to pieces

Johnny Cash in black singin'

Understand your man from

St. Quentin crossing to Tarbert to Gigha

Oh lonesome me howled box car willie

Coming out of Tobermory to the sound

In the morning

Patsy Clines on the air say's I've loved and lost again

From now on all of my friends are gonna be strangers

So I fell in love with a beautiful stranger

It's just an arangement

I'll leave the first light of day

This one goes out

To my beautiful stranger

I slipped so quietly away

By the window where she stands

She counts the beads in her hand

And knows it wasn't God who planned to make

Honky tonk angels

She makes the bed all alone but a house

Without love is not a home plays on the radio

She says why can't he be you I hear

You've gone from Brown to blue

Since the holiday for two

But I don't need to know that right now

I love you so much it hurts he cursed

As his truck tyres lurched down the

Old dirt track road again

She fell in love with a beautiful stranger

There's no arangement

He leaves the first light of day

This one goes out to the beautiful stranger

Time slips so easily away
