Strangest Thing Lyrics – Grant-Lee Phillips

Strangest Thing Text

---

Verse 1:
Strangest thing days I feel like dirt
And then I see the diamond dust on everything
Strangest thing something plucks my nerve
And then I hear a hundred chords a-shimmering

Verse 2:
Strangest thing the way that one guitar
Can move me more than any symphony
Strangest thing when it stars to pour
I feel the sadness and the pain go out of me

Chorus:
I don’t feel sad when Cash wears black I hear the train comin’
Good things down the railroad track ya gotta believe in somethin’

Verse 3:
Yeah the strangest thing that assassin’ gun
It was a-trained to fire away on anyone
Strangest thing the way a stranger wept for him
And how she spilt a tear of love
Yeah the strangest thing the way that hope can hide itself
Behind the walls of anything

Chorus:
I don’t feel sad when Cash wears black I hear the train comin’
Good things down the railroad track ya gotta believe in somethin’

Verse 4:
Strangest thing like a potion to unspell
The curse of human suffering
Stangest thing strangest things befall
Even the strongest of us all
