Stranger to Himself Lyrics

[From The Album "John Barleycorn Must Die" (1970)]

[Music & Lyrics: Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi]
Struggling with confusion,
Disillusionment too,
Turn a man into his shadow,
Crying out from hell.

Between his nightmare visions
He sees nothing, only words.
Mad with the beggar's mind, he's but a stranger,
He's been a stranger to himself.
Suspended on a rope
Inside a bucket down a hole.
Hands are torn and b*****
From the scratching at his soul.

Behind his nightmare visions
He sees nothing, only words.
Mad with a beggar's mind, he's but a stranger,
He's been a stranger to himself.

Between his nightmare visions
He sees nothing, only words.
Mad with the beggar's mind, he's but a stranger,
He's been a stranger to himself
