Freakwater - Rank Strangers

{Verse 1}
I wandered again to my home in the mountain
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

{Chorus}
And everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad, not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me

{Verse 2}
"They've all moved away," said the voice of a stranger
"To a beautiful home on a bright crystal sea"
Some beautiful day I'll meet them in heaven
Where no one will be a rank stranger to me

{Chorus}
And everybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger
No mother or dad, not a friend could I see
They knew not my name and I knew not their faces
I found they were all rank strangers to me
And I found they were all rank strangers to me
