Is He Strange

Licorice and nuts, there are no ifs and there aren't any buts

He was just there, he was just standin' there

He was on an island, in the North Atlantic Ocean

Just mindin' his own, he was just doin' his thing

And in that moment everything changed

Is he strange or is it you who never saw the light?

Decades of everything wrong give way to everything right

But that don't mean that it will stick

He's not some flower you can pick

Purples, reds and blues, you act like you have never read the news

Now you must choose what are you goin' to do?

It's just good to know that you can love while you are lettin' go

Look at the snow, look at it swirl and blow

And you never thought that tree would grow

Is he strange or is it you who never saw the light?

Decades of everything wrong give way to everything right

But that don't mean that it will stick

He's not some flower you can pick

Brown Norwegian cheese, don't worry who you do and do not please

At the very least, you've got other dead horses to beat

You can't win or lose, you simply are and that's how he is too

And you're never through, nobody said that it would be smooth

Now close your eyes and concentrate on this groove

Is he strange or is it you who never saw the light?

Decades of everything wrong give way to everything right

Baby, you're not strange, you are the only one who's ever been right

I'm just sorry that I let you down and that's what keeps me up at night

And I only hope that you can see

That you transformed this heart inside of me
