Strange Things

I lost my wife in 1989

To a certain kind of undetectable cancer

She left me alone in a seven bedroom home

Built upon the bones of fallen soldiers

I don't recall puttin' that picture on the wall

The one of mother and child at Easter time

I hear strange things creepin' in the night

I have strange dreams in the bed where Lucy died

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

The day that Lucy died was the hottest of the summer

The family all stood around her sweating

When she expired, they all went back to the city

I've never seen a livin' soul again

I buried down beneath the garden that Lucy proudly grew

The whitest rose that ever was in bloom

I hear strange things creepin' in the night

I have strange dreams in the bed where Lucy died

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

I hear strange things creepin' in the night

I have strange dreams in the bed where Lucy died

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh
