Well, I wandered again to my home in the mountain


Where in youth's early dawn I was happy and free


I looked for my friends but I never could find them


Ev'rybody I met was a rank stranger to me.


Ev'rybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger


No mother or dad, not a friend could I see


They knew not my name and I knew not their faces


Ev'rybody I met, rank strangers to me.


"Well, they all moved away" said the voice of a stranger


"To some beautiful home on that bright, crystal sea"


Some beautiful day, well, I'll meet 'em in heaven


Where no one will be a stranger to me.


Ev'rybody I met seemed to be a rank stranger


No mother or dad, not a friend could I see


They knew not my name and I knew not their faces


I found they were all rank strangers to me.





This beautiful old song has been performed by Bob Dylan only rarely in recent years. The lyrics above are the ones from the latest performance of "RANK STRANGERS TO ME" in Indiana, which had been the only one in 2001.








Biblical references:


~ Revelation 4 ~


Before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal.
