Stranger at the Airport

Verse 1

I didn't ask Line

I didn't ask the crowd

I didn't tell the airport what I was hungry for

I only told You

Not even out loud

just a quiet thought

knocking on Your door

Pre-Chorus

And when I walked away

left my bag by the bench

didn't think a thing of it

didn't think to wait

Chorus

Who was the stranger

at the airport that day?

Was it Line watching my belongings

or me who went to pray?

Verse 2

Right then a man came named Sebastian

held out a chocolate to my hands

I thanked him but didn't accept it

wondered how he had attained it.

But I told him none of my request

kept the secret in my head

And when I came back from my errand

what had been there waiting?

I asked:

Chorus

Who was the stranger

at the airport that day?

Sandwich sitting on my handbag

like a note to read

Who was the stranger

at the airport that day?

Who had provided what I asked for

while I went to pray?

Verse 3

She said it was a very kind man

I was looking - couldn't find him

Then he suddenly walked by

Line told me and I saw his eyes

As I stood there staring

with a hidden fire burning

Just an arms length away

I had no words to say

Pre-Chorus

Then he was lowering his gaze

and passed me with a knowing smile

All too quick vanished in the crowd

as a shape among the gray

While I simply stopped and stayed

Chorus

Who was the stranger

at the airport that day?

Sandwich sitting on my handbag

like a note to read

Who was the stranger

at the airport that day?

Who had provided what I asked for

while I went to pray?

Bridge

He is gone

He is gone

The Airport called: "Attention please"

Then silence followed it

Final Chorus

Who was the stranger

at the airport that day?

Sandwich sitting on my handbag

like a note to read

Who was the stranger

at the airport that day?

Was it Line watching my belongings

or me who went to pray?

Outro

He is gone now

He is gone now

He is gone
