Alone as I sit and watch the trees Won't you tell me if I scream will they bend down and listen to me And it makes me wonder if I know the words will you come Or will you laugh at me Or will I run Little boy says to me, "Where you goin' now son" I said, "I don't know where I'm goin' boy I only know where I'm from" And it makes me wonder If the stars shine when my eyes close Or does my brothers heart cry I don't know I'm a stranger in my home Now that everybody's gone Someone please talk to me Cause I feel you cry And you're sitting with him And I know I'll never see you again Lying down in Charleston under the Carolina sky You see I'm tired of feeling this pain I'm tired of living my own little lie And it makes me wonder When I see you in my dreams Does it mean anything Are you trying to talk to me I'm a stranger in my home Tell me are you feeling alone Someone tell me what to do 'Cause I'm feeling strong And I wonder how you feel Do you realize my pain is for real I see you in my dreams And I wonder if you're looking down at me And smiling right now I wanna know if it's true When he looks at me Won't you tell me Does he realize he came down here And he took you too soon And now my days are short an my nights are long I lay down with memories of you that keep me going on, going on It makes me wonder as I sit and stare Will I see your face again Tell me, do you care I'm a stranger in my home Living life on my own Right now I just can't see 'Cause i'm feeling weak And my sould begins to bleed And no one is listening to me, not even the trees
