Strawbs - Strange Day Over The Hill lyrics

Cousins 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.
