The Four Tops Lyrics
"Stranger On The Shore"

Here I stand
Watching the tide go
(Watching the tide go out)
So all alone and blue
Just dreaming dreams of you

I watch your ship, I watch your ship
As it sails out to sea
(As it sails out to sea)
Taking all of my dreams, Dear
And taking all of me, Yeah

The sighing of the waves
The whaling of the wind
To you, my dear, I love you
Oh where do I begin?

Oh why, oh why, oh why must I
Must I go on like this?
(Must I go on like this)
Must I just be alone here
The stranger on the shore?

The sighing of the waves
The whaling of the wind
To you, my dear, I love you
Oh where do I begin?

Oh why, oh why, oh why must I
Must I go on like this?
(Must I go on like this)
Must I just be alone here
To plead my love's return?
(Plead my love's return)

Must I go on like this
(Must I go on like this)
All alone and feeling blue?
Yeah

I watch your ship
(I watch your ship)

As it sails out
(As it sails out)

Oh why, oh why?
(oh why, oh why)

Oh why, oh why?
(Oh why, oh why)

Oh why, oh why, oh why?
(Oh why, oh why)

Oh my, oh my, oh my
(Oh my, oh my)

Stranger on the shore
(Stranger on the shore)
