Strange World

"Strange World"

We walk without a sound
across a barren landscape
Your eyes are twisted down
to a dew entrailed ground
We watch the stars
as they slowly fade away
and in the clearing sky
I see
The cold stone face
of morning
setting in on me

It's a strange world
It's a very strange world
that leaves me
Holding on
to nothing
when there's nothing left
to lose
Your touch is cold and damp,
the devil's in your eyes
I wonder why I always let you
lead me on this way
'Cause you see only
what you want to see
You feel only
what you want to
And I am on the outside
of your strange world

It's a strange world
It's a very strange world that leaves me
Holding on to nothing when there's nothing left to lose

We're walking hand in hand,
we'll walk this way forever
Our eyes have risen
to the water's edge
watching with the tides
The stars have fallen
to another day
and the sun warms our path to
Find the reasons
leave us far behind
in our strange world

It's a strange world
It's a very strange world that leaves me
Holding on to nothing when there's nothing left to lose

Sarah McLachlan
