Street Corner Stranger lyrics

Street Corner Stranger (Larry Rice)

Street corner stranger can I talk with you awhile
I see that you are standing in this rain
You see it's not that easy
For me to explain to you
But I've been back into the poison once again
Street corner stranger can I have a talk with you
I know I've passed you by many times before
And I know that your not Moses
But I'm standing at the waters edge
Can you tell me how to get to the other side
You see I traded my family
For the bottom of some glass
And now I need to speak with again
And I know that your not Moses but I need to speak with you
Cause I've been back into the poison once again

Do these folks round here look down on you
When you bow your head in shame
I know the way you feel when you shake and cry
What advice can you give me so I don't end up like you
Wringing wet and cold as they pass you by
You see I traded my family
For the bottom of some glass
And now I need to speak with again
And I know that your not Moses but I need to speak with you
Cause I've been back into the poison once again
