about

Written by Bart de Win. Song about a friendly stranger who greets you every day until he's gone. A man that used to live with his dog, considered to be the local village nutcase by many, creating an altar with a burning candle for the Virgin Mary in a hollow tree in front of his little house. How much do we really know of one another?

lyrics

Mary's comfort

I guess it’s weird, when you don't know
I'm sitting here, got nowhere to go
People talk, the words cut like knives
And it keeps them from looking at their own lives
From looking at their lives

They're passing by, every day
Silent strangers moving on their way
I see the fear and I feel sad
There was a time it would make me mad
I was always mad

Look at the old tree
It's been standing there for ages protecting me
I stare into the flame
Waiting for somebody who knows my name

I see her light, I feel her love
Mary's comfort and joy I've been dreaming of
Sit with me, nowhere to go
We'll be safe till the morning comes
Till the morning comes

I saw you, and you saw me
And we don't know when the next time will be
Ain’t it strange, how people touch
Sometimes it only takes that much
It only takes that much
