Howdy Stranger

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

#skirmish #stranger #unexpectedguest I think the ancient law of hospitality where you welcome a stranger into your home should be revisited for our times.

Lyrics

Howdy stranger Well met Come sit here by the fire It's dark outside And cold Come sit here by the fire

Howdy stranger Have a bite Right here by the fire I bet you're hungry Need a drink So sit here by the fire

Middle: Howdy stranger I've not seen you before Good thing I saw you Pass outside my door

Howdy stranger Rest awhile Lie here by the fire You look weary And afraid You can stay here by the fire

Just as long As you need Right here by the fire

I agree. I also think of this in terms of welcoming travelers who have come to our land seeking refuge. Powerful lyric.

Very cool take on the prompt. Visual writing.

Well, I love this! It has a gentle kindness throughout! Offering a stranger warmth, food and rest! Beautiful words that remind us we can still be Good & Kind in dark times.

(I'll admit I half expected a trick at the end like a vampire or something!)
