The Stranger Song Lyrics

This has been already said, but I think this song is about people who are strangers wherever they are, people who just don't belong anywhere and are constantly on the move, waiting for something or nothing.

It reminds me of a poem called 'The Men Who Don't Fit In', which says: "If they just went straight they might go far; / They are strong and brave and true; / But they're always tired of the things that are / And they want the strange and new."

Beautiful song, anyway.
