Strange Affair Lyrics & Tabs by Martin Simpson
Strange Affair
guitar chords lyrics
This is a strange affair
The time has come to travel but the road is filled with fear
This is a strange affair
My youth has all been wasted and I'm bent and grey with years
And all my companions are taken away
And who will provide for me against my dying day?
This is a strange, this is a strange affair
Oh, where are my companions?
My mother, father, lover, friend and enemy
Where are my companions?
They're prisoners of death now and taken far from me
And where are the dreams I dreamed in the days of my youth?
They took me to illusion when they promised me the truth
And what do sleepers need to make the listen, why do they need more proof?
This is a strange, this is a strange affair
They took me to illusion when they promised me the truth
And what do sleepers need to make the listen, why do they need more proof?
This is a strange, this is a strange affair
Won't you give me an answer?
Why is your heart so hard towards the one who loves you best?
When the man with the answer
Has wakened you, and warned you, and called you to the test
Wake up from your sleep that builds like clouds upon your eyes
Turn your back on yourself and if you follow,
You'll win the lover's prize
This is a strange, this is a strange affair
