Il testo della Rank stranger

I wandered again to my home in the mountains
Where in youth's early dawn i was happy and free
I looked for my friends, but i never could find them
I found they were all rank strangers to me

Everybody i met (everybody i met)
Seemed to be a rank stranger (seemed to be a rank stranger)
No mother nor dad (no mother or dad)
Not a friend could i see (not a friend could i see)
They knew not my name (they knew not my name)
And i knew not their faces (and i knew not their faces)
I found they were all (i found they were all)
Rank strangers to me (rank strangers to me)

"they've all moved away," said the voice of a stranger
"to a beautiful land by the bright crystal sea"
Some beautiful day i'll meet 'em in heaven
Where no one will be a stranger to me

Everybody i met (everybody i met)
Seemed to be a rank stranger (seemed to be a rank stranger)
No mother nor dad (no mother or dad)
Not a friend could i see (not a friend could i see)
They knew not my name (they knew not my name)
And i knew not their faces (and i knew not their faces)
I found they were all (i found they were all)
Rank strangers to me (rank strangers to me)
