Little Stranger - Peter Bradley Adams

There's a love he cannot hide 
though he waits in the line to fight 
so he looks up to welcome you, his child 
little stranger girl, you are home tonight 

he reaches out a thousand miles 
an sends his voice to where you lie 
and in your dreams he carries you, his child 
little stranger girl, you are home tonight 

when you have grown, you may ask why 
and you will read these words he writes 
and they will say, I thank you, my child, 
little stranger girl, you are home tonight
