Now that the stranger has come
Derrick E Carey 1981 (Sarasota)
We have reached the turning point.
And the story has been told.
Unfortunately, the page has to be turned.
With the best judgement that I can make
It was too soon to close the gate.
Now that the stranger has come.
The atmosphere has changed.
From positive to unsure
Everything has become so clear now.
Now that the stranger has come.
His presence alone brings an unease to the room.
Or the atmosphere of his surrounding
Now that the stranger has come.
