Lyrics=
He walked down into the city
And he made his way to the park
And a thousand people were
waiting in the dark
He took his guitar from his shoulder
And he set it down on his knee
And he played the chords
of the human heart for free.
His songs wove a spectrum of meaning
from the words he spun into rhyme
and dissolved in the undressed night
In a place that is outside of time
Too soon, The Sun came upon us
Too soon, the day drew near
Then he folded up in the morning
And none saw him disappear
The years have passed on their journey
Now I'm older than I wanted to be
But I'm as young as the dawn when I hear him
sing in the heart of me
Oh, life has its secrets and treasures
that hide in plain sight but unseen
It's hard to follow the meaning
When your life takes place in a dream
Too soon, the music has ended
Too soon, our life slips away
Did you think that he had the answers?
The truth is, I really can't say
No... and I really can't say
And yes... and I really don't know
I live in the pause of the moment
between the ebb and the flow
The Sun is a fountain of rapture
And it's filled with cities of light
The souls of the righteous all live there
infused with a spiritual sight
They tell me he came from The Sun
They tell me that's where he is now
They say what he sang was the beauty
of all that God's law will allow
The years have passed on their journey
Now I'm older than I wanted to be
But I'm young as the dawn when I hear him
sing in the heart of me
Too soon, our life loses meaning
Too soon, what's familiar departs
And we disappear in the painting
of a true and spontaneous art
He is The Mysterious Stranger
Immortal and young as the dawn
He plays the chords of the human heart
And if you blink... he is gone
No... and I really can't say
And yes... and I really don't know
I live in the pause of the moment
between the ebb and the flow
I live in the pause of the moment
between the ebb and the flow
I live in the pause of the moment
between the ebb and the flow
