The sky was like a crystal, it was sapphire blue 
I was like a kid again, so were you 
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill. 

The sun came round to polish up the copper beech 
The leaves were black as leather where the sun don't 
reach 
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill. 

I was close enough to heaven as a man could be 
Knowing I had solved your little mystery 
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill. 

We could hear the distant compromise of wedding bells 
As we leaned on one another bidding fond farewells 
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill. 

As we drove into the valley, the mist rolled down 
We were in the grip of winter in our own home town 
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill. 

The lights were shining brightly in the house across the 
street 
I was looking for adventure, I was turning on the heat 
I shivered in the shadows, it was cold as hell 
The church bell sounded seven going, well, well, well 
It's a strange day, a strange day over the hill.
