Strange Overtones

I wake up every morning

I hear your feet on the stairs

Youre in the next apartment

I hear you singing over there

This groove is out of fashion

These beats are 20 years old

I saw you lend a hand to

The ones out standing in the cold

Strange overtones in the music you are playing

Iˈll harmonize

It is strong and you are tough

But a heart is not enough

Put on your socks and mittens

Itˈs getting colder tonight

A snowball in my kitchen

I watched it melt before my eyes

Your song still needs a chorus

I know youll figure it out

The rising of the verses

A change of key will let you out

Strange overtones though theyˈre slightly out of fashion

Iˈll harmonize

I see the music in your face

That your words cannot explain

Strange overtones in the music you are playing

Weˈre not alone

It is strong and you are tough

But a heart is not enough

Strange overtones in the music you are playing

Iˈll harmonize

It is strong and you are tough

But a heart is not enough
