Stranger, stranger in a strange land. He looked at me like I was the one who should run. We asked him to smile for a photograph Waited a while to see if we could make him laugh. The soldier asked for a cigarette His smiling face I can't forget. He looked at me across the street But that's a long way here. Oh, and I wish you were here. Oh, and I wish you were here. Stranger, stranger in a strange land. He looked at me like I was the one who should run. I watched as he watched us get back on the bus I watched the way it was The way it was when he was with us And I really don't mind sleeping on the floor But I couldn't sleep after what I saw I wrote this letter to tell you the way I feel. Oh I wish you were here Oh I wish you were here To see what I could see To hear And I wish you were here.
