Gordon Lightfoot - Sit Down Young Stranger

Текст песни

I’m standin' in the doorway
My head bowed in my hands
Not knowin' where to sit
Not knowin' where to stand
My father looms above me For him there is no rest
My mother’s arms enfold me And hold me to her breast
They say you been out wandrin'
They say you travelled far
Sit down young stranger
And tell us who you are
The room has all gone misty,
My thoughts are all in spin
Sit down young stranger
And tell us where you been
I’ve been up to the mountain
I’ve walked down by the sea
I never questioned no one
And no one questioned me My love was given freely
And oftimes was returned
I never came to borrow
I only came to learn
Sometimes it would get lonely
But it taught me how to cry
And laughter came too easy
For life to pass me by
I never had a dollar
