A Stranger in Love

I travelled to a country I'd never been before The sweet intoxication led me to an open door It weakened my defences: the sights, the smell, the taste Like a rocket to my senses leaving me feeling out of place I wish I knew where home was I wish I knew the way I wish I knew where home was He was like no other lover and courted easily There were worlds to be discovered as long as he was free And so we made our Eden as if it was for real But the apple stayed uneaten – that was the deal I wish I knew where home was I wish I knew the way I wish I knew where home was Still I long for all the comforts that I have known The ones that fit me like a glove But I cannot find my way back home I'm a stranger, a stranger in love The drummers keep on drumming (I wish I knew where home was) And the tunes weave on through the night (I wish I knew the way) The garden looks most lovely by the fairy lantern light The wind blows around my shoulders, I go searching for a chair I can't remember leaving but I am no longer there
