Strange Alchemy

Got no earthquakes

In my pocket

No crazy songs, no games

No tales of something new

I’ve got no hopes

Of leaving you in laughter

No saddening stories designed

To leave you feeling blue

I’m just really glad

To see you again

Your smile’s like a light shining in

And I’m awfully glad

To call you my friend

There’s no telling just what you’ve been to me

You say you’re waking up these mornings

To find your heart is aching

A hollow feeling

And your eyes are filled with tears

You don’t know why you’re crying

You’ve lost control

There’s no use trying

And old friend understands

And his love will see you clear

And I’m really glad

To see you again

Your smile’s like a light shining in

And I’m awfully glad

To call you my friend

There’s no telling just what you’ve been to me

With our strange alchemy

Bright red moon hangs above the highway

The night so warm and full

Everybody went uptown

While they were drinking I was sitting home

TV’d and thinking

About the times we’ve shared

And how long you’ve been around

And I’m really glad

To see you again

Your smile’s like a light shining in

And I’m awfully glad

To call you my friend

There’s no telling just what you’ve been to me

With our strange alchemy
