Jimmy Cliff - STRANGERS WHEN WE LEAVE Lyrics

Strangers when we Leave...

Musique : Alain Bashung / paroles : Boris Bergman
Adaptation en anglais de "vertige de l'amour" par Boris Bergman


Friend, spin me no yarn...
Please no more fairy tales...
I was born in a barn
On a ship with no sails...

I've travelled the seas ...
She took me for a ride ...
Merry maid from Chelsea
That called herself a bride ...
I hope you're on my side...

OOO strangers when we leave...

Halloween comes early ...
It's trick or treat in gringoland ...
You don't look so happy...
Yesterday's candies have turned to sand
Why don' you take my hand...

/ OOO strangers when we leave...

I see a strange light in the air
Is it the bonfire from the fair...?
Is it a sign, a kind of warning
For the last skater on the ring

OOOO strangers when we leave...

Friend, spin me no yarn...
Please no more fairy tales...
I was born in a barn
On a boat with no sails...
