Strange Way

Lyrics: Peter Zimmels [Peter Monk]
Music: Barry Melton

One of Peter Monk's lyrics, sung by Barry Melton.

Summer follows spring around
Darkness follows light
Sun repeats the circle
The stars make through the night

Silence always follows sound
Wrong comes after right
Children's spring from simple needs
Like mine for you tonight

And that's the strange way
Oh that's the strange way
Strange way you have, babe, of quoting me

Love is full of loneliness
Pearls are made of sand
Rivers fill from hill to ocean
Carving up the land

Bright fish swim against the river
Once a year to spawn
You are gone away for ever
Carrying my son

Strange way
That's the strange way
That strange way you have, babe, of denying me

Ancient eyes remember childhood
Innocence just [jade]
And every dream I have in heaven
Starts where hell was made

[Planets] follow vision
Solid follows beat
Love returns to ritual
As waves wash from the beach

And that's the strange way
Oh, that's the strange way
That strange way you have, babe, of quoting me

Strange way
Strange way
