Stranger In A Strange Land

U2 · October [1981]

Stranger

Stranger in a stange 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



A soldier asked for a cigarette

His smiling face I can't forget

He looked like you across the street

But that's a long way here



And I wish you were here

And I wish you were here



Stranger

A stranger in a strange land

He look 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



I wish you were here

I wish you were here

To see what I could see

To hear

And I wish you were here
