lyrics
Lonely Stranger
I’m a lonely stranger
In this barren land
I’ve known only danger
He’s the brother at my hand
I’ve no ‘ma nor father
To no one do I belong
I’ve known only sorrow
She’s my sister and my son
But one day, I’ll go to heaven
Yes one day, He’ll take me there
Where my God, will take my trouble
And my God, will take my cares
I’ve known every hunger
Sickness and disease
Shipwreck and disaster
These have been my family
I’ve no home to speak of
No place to rest my head
In the wasteland, do I wander
In the desert, make my bed
Death, come quick to take me
To the place beyond these skies
I’ve nothing to bring with me
And nothing to leave behind
I’m a lonely stranger
In this barren land
I’ve known only danger
He’s the brother at my hand
I’ve no ‘ma nor father
To no one do I belong
I’ve known only sorrow
She’s my sister and my son
But one day, I’ll go to heaven
Yes one day, He’ll take me there
Where my God, will take my trouble
And my God, will take my cares
I’ve known every hunger
Sickness and disease
Shipwreck and disaster
These have been my family
I’ve no home to speak of
No place to rest my head
In the wasteland, do I wander
In the desert, make my bed
Death, come quick to take me
To the place beyond these skies
I’ve nothing to bring with me
And nothing to leave behind

What an incredible album that I only just discovered through a close friend. There truly is god inside this music, regardless of the listeners beliefs. It brought me so much joy to receive the record in the mail and find a handwritten thank you note from Karen and Don inside! It really is some of the most beautiful music I have heard, and I will treasure this record for years to come.

Elizabeth Morris of Allo Darlin’ returns with a new group! “Winter Sun” is a tender blend of pastoral folk and diary-like lyrics.
