|
When you're tired and you're far from home |
|
When you're lost and you're on your own |
|
When the fog comes a-swirling, swirling round you |
|
Mm, 'til you can't see the path before you |
|
You should know of the strangest things |
|
You come down like a silent snow |
|
'Til your mind feels as numb as your fingers |
|
It was many years ago |
|
On the coast of Gondwanaland |
|
No-one hurt for the howling wind |
|
No-one hurt when they whispered the strangest thing |
|
No-one sought for the stinging rain |
|
No-one saw the strangest thing |
|
Saw you slip on the icy street |
|
And I smiled accidentally |
|
And you swore at the ice, and you swore at me |
|
And my heart felt instantly |
|
In the warmth of the strangest thing |
|
So I'm holding a torch up high for you |
|
And the batteries are all brand new |
|
But I'm scared they'll wear right through |
|
Before you see me shining for you |
|
Before I can discover who can show me |
|
The strangest thing |
|
No-one hurt for the howling wind |
|
No-one hurt when they whispered the strangest thing |
|
No-one sought for the stinging rain |
|
No-one saw the strangest thing |
