Strange Way (Single Version) Lyrics
Firefall
Lyrics
Didn't I hear you cry this mornin'?
Didn't I feel you weep?
Teardrops flowin' down on me
Like rivers in my sleep
In my dream of laughter
You came creeping with your fears
Telling me your sorrow
In the trace ends of your tears
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me, no
Don't cry to me, no
Didn't I hear your voice this mornin'?
Didn't you call my name?
I heard you whisper softly
But the words were never plain
And in your dream of darkness
I came shinin' like a sun
Waiting for the laughter
But the laughter never caught
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me, no
Don't cry to me, no
Didn't you feel alone this mornin'?
Didn't you need a friend?
And in your darkest hour
You came runnin' back again
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
