The sky was like a crystal, it was sapphire blue<br />
I was like a kid again, so were you<br />
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill.<br />
<br />
The sun came round to polish up the copper beech<br />
The leaves were black as leather where the sun don't reach<br />
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill.<br />
<br />
I was close enough to heaven as a man could be<br />
Knowing I had solved your little mystery<br />
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill.<br />
<br />
We could hear the distant compromise of wedding bells<br />
As we leaned on one another bidding fond farewells<br />
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill.<br />
<br />
As we drove into the valley, the mist rolled down<br />
We were in the grip of winter in our own home town<br />
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill.<br />
<br />
The lights were shining brightly in the house across the street<br />
I was looking for adventure, I was turning on the heat<br />
I shivered in the shadows, it was cold as hell<br />
The church bell sounded seven going, well, well, well<br />
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill.
