Strange Overtones

I wake up every morning

I hear your feet on the stairs

You're in the next apartment

I hear you singin' over there

This groove is out of fashion

These beats are twenty years old

I saw you lend a hand to

The ones out standing in the cold

Strange overtones, in the music you are playin'

I'll harmonize, it is strong and you are tough

But a heart is not enough

How long have I been missin'?

It's getting colder tonight

The snowfall's reminiscin'

I've watched it melt, before my eyes

Your song still needs a chorus

I know you'll figure it out

The rising of the verses

A change of key will let you out

Strange overtones, in the music you are playin'

I'll harmonize, it is strong and you are tough

But a heart is not enough

Strange overtones, in the music you are playin'

We're not alone, it is strong and you are tough

But a heart is not enough
