Joan Baez - A Stranger in My Place Lyrics

I see the town where we were born
I see the place we were raised
I see all the things you wanted
That I never gave

I see sadness, I see sorrow
I see pain on your face
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

I can see now where we quarreled
I can see now I was wrong
I can see where you might weaken
When I wasn't strong

I see mem'ries of a love gone bad
Which time cannot erase
But I just can't see a stranger in my place

No one seems to know you quite like I do
No one knows the things that make you cry
Looking back it seems I never showed you
So now I lay alone and wonder why

I can see now where you might grow tired of dreams
That don't come true
I can see where I have fallen short
Of the things I promised you

I can see now through these tear filled eyes
No love on your face
But I just can't see a stranger in my place
No, I just can't see a stranger in my place
