Dwayne Ford: Stranger in paradise [lyrics]

Dwayne Ford

Stranger in paradise

Too many nights on the town

Too many times when the lines were down

She's a long way from home

It's a long way to run

She spends her days at the Ritz

Waiting in silence before the night hits

She's a long way from home

It's a long way to run

A stranger in paradise, she's just like a fool in love

An angel in her demise, it's a thin disguise

Just doesn't hide all the pain

She'll stand by her alibi, she's just like a fool in love

Defend it with jealous eyes, but she never lies

She just denies it

Oh doesn't she know she can never win

The state she's in, she's lucky she still knows how to cry

Love is alive, if she'd only see

There's enough for her, there's enough for me

You say, "How much for the 'cain, she says"

"I don't deal I just play the game"

"I'm a long way from home, it's a long way to run"

She's just like a fool in love

I saw her yesterday, she looked

Tired and alone as she walked away, I said

You're a long way from home

It's a long way to run
