Lyrics
Stranger
Stranger in a strange land
He looked at me like I
Was the one who should run
We asked him to smile for a photograph
Waited a while to see if we could make him laugh
A soldier asked for a cigarette
His smiling face I can't forget
He looked like me across the street
But that's a long way here
Oh, and I wish you were here
Oh, and I wish you were here
Stranger
A stranger in a strange land
He looked at me like I
Was the one who should run
I watched as he watched us get back on the bus
I watched the way it was
The way it was when he was with us
And I really don't mind
Sleeping on the floor
But I couldn't sleep after what I saw
I wrote this letter to tell you
The way I feel
Ooh, I wish you were here
Ooh, I wish you were here
To see what I could see
To hear
And I wish you were here
Writer(s): Adam Clayton, Larry Mullen, Dave Evans, Paul David Hewson
