Strawbs - Strange Day Over The Hill lyrics

rate me

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.
