It's true that all the men you knew were dealers
Who said they were through with dealing
Every time you gave them shelter

I know that kind of man
It's hard to hold the hand of anyone
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender
Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender

And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
You find he did not leave you very much
Not even laughter

Like any dealer he was watching for the card
That is so high and wild
He'll never need to deal another
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger

And then leaning on your window sill
He'll say one day you caused his will
To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter

And then taking from his wallet
An old schedule of trains, he'll say
"I told you when I came, I was a stranger"

But now another stranger seems to want you
To ignore his dreams
As though they were the burden of some other

Oh, you've seen that man before
His golden arm dispatching cards
But now it's rusted from the elbow to the finger
And he wants to trade the game he plays for shelter
Yes, he wants to trade the game he knows for shelter

Oh, you hate to watch another tired man
Lay down his hand
Like he was giving up the holy game of poker

And while he talks his dreams to sleep
You notice there's a highway
That is curling up like smoke above his shoulder
It's curling just like smoke above his shoulder

You tell him to come in, sit down
But something makes you turn around
The door is open, you can't close your shelter

You try the handle of the road, it opens, do not be afraid
It's you my love, you who are the stranger
And it is you my love, you who are the stranger

Well, I've been waiting, I was sure
We'd meet between the trains we're waiting for
I think it's time to board another

Please understand, I never had a secret chart
To get me to the heart of this or any other matter
Well he talks like this you don't know what he's after
When he speaks like this you don't know what he's after

Let's meet tomorrow if you choose
Upon the shore, beneath the bridge
That they are building on some endless river

Then he leaves the platform
For the sleeping car that's warm
You realize, he's only advertising, "One more shelter"
And it comes to you, he never was a stranger
And you say, "Okay the bridge or someplace later"

And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind
You find he did not leave you very much
Not even laughter

Like any dealer he was watching for the card
That is so high and wild
He'll never need to deal another
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
He was just some Joseph looking for a manger

And leaning on your window sill
He'll say one day you caused his will
To weaken with your love and warmth and shelter

And then taking from his wallet
An old schedule of trains
He'll say, "I told you, when I came, I was a stranger"
I told you, when I came, I was a stranger
I told you, when I came, I was a stranger
