lyrics

A Strange Affair

When she stays here, she stays all night
When it rains here, it rains all night

If I fall into a feeling
If I crash to the ceiling
If you close your eyes
The cool softness of summer leaves warms the winter air

A strange affair, I left back there
With all my love and everything

When it snows here, it snows all night
When she leaves here, she leaves no light

If you call out for healing
If you stand up for kneeling
With her flame red hair
The warm wetness of winter clothes cools the summer air

A strange affair, sailed the air
Caught cold by catapult and sling
A strange affair, a trap and snare
Waits on my weakness on the wing

I said I don’t believe it

A strange affair, sailed the air
Caught cold by catapult and sling
A strange affair, I left back there
With all my love and everything
