Lyrics
Verse 1
Bootsteps on the cobblestone
Keeps his collar high
Eyes down
Lit cigarette
Little slow glow
Then gone
Like he owns this town
Nobody’s ever heard his name
Just a match flare
Then it’s through
Corners close around his coat
Like the dark itself once knew
Chorus
Who is this stranger in the moonlit rows
Face turned away wherever wind blows
Cold eyes watching where the river flows
Who is this stranger?
Only the shadow knows
Only the shadow knows
Verse 2
Leaning in a doorway
While the tavern curtains shake
Heard he talks to every stray
Like he’s counting each heartbreak
Some say he’s a hunter
Some say he’s a ghost
Some say he lost everything
And walks with what he lost the most
Chorus
Who is this stranger in the moonlit rows
Face turned away wherever wind blows
Cold eyes watching where the river flows
Who is this stranger?
Only the shadow knows
Only the shadow knows
Bridge
Maybe he’s a warning
Maybe he’s a prayer (oh…)
Maybe he’s the man you were
Before you ended up here
Chorus
Who is this stranger in the moonlit rows
Face turned away wherever wind blows
Cold eyes watching where the river flows
Who is this stranger?
Only the shadow knows
Only the shadow knows
