Strange Day Over The Hill

Strawbs - Strange Day Over The Hill



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.
