the company of strangers

If you’re so sure then go tell it to the mountain
like you held the answers all along.
Maybe it’s time that I was taken out to pasture.
Seems lately I’ve been getting it wrong.

You started crying when the morning came too early.
You said I’d promised you that things would always stay the same.
Guess I never had something I believed in
for long enough to make a change.

And if you told me how you were feeling,
I could say say say something profound,
like ‘leaving is the best type of healing’ or,
‘if he were here then he would be proud
of how you turned out’

(but until then)

Godspeed the company
Take all you need

What were you saying about necessary evil?
Did you ever feel your life was in danger?
He devoted his to the company,
The Company of Strangers

(and that’s why)

Godspeed the company
Break all you see

And in the West we were deafened by thunder
and you held me ’til the fear ran out.
I must admit that we’re not all that different
when you put the words inside my mouth.
You put the words inside my mouth.
You put the words inside my mouth.

I’ve been working for The Company of Stranger
Been working for The Company of Stranger
Been working for The Company of Strangers
Been working for The Company of Stranger.

I’m in the company of strangers
I’m in the company of strangers
I’m in the company of strangers
I’m in the company of strangers now.
