Strangest Thing

Strangest thing

days I feel like dirt

and then I see the diamond dust on everything

strangest thing

something plucks my nerve

then i hear a hundred chords a-shimmering

strangest thing

the way that one guitar

can move me more than any symphony

strangest thing

when it starts to pour

i feel the sadness and the pain go out of me

i don't feel sad when cash wears black

i hear the train comin'

good things down the railroad track

ya gotta believe in somethin'

strangest thing

that assassin's gun

was a-trained to fire away on anyone

strangest thing

the way a stranger wept for him

and how she spilt a tear of love

strangest thing

the way that hope can hide itself

behind the walls of anything

i don't feel sad when cash wears black

i hear the train comin'

good things down the railroad track

ya gotta believe in somethin'

strangest thing

like a potion to unspell the curse of human suffering

strangest thing

strangest things befall even the strongest of us all
