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
