LOVE STRANGER THAN THIS The first time I saw her I looked in her eye And I knew that she knew that our love wouldn't die I said, "Don't I know you from way back before The heat and the rain, and the cold then the thaw?" She said, "Yeah, I remember, how could I forget Each time we meet you regret that we met For ours is an old love that runs right through time On rivers of rain that flood out your mind" And stranger than that I still feel her kiss A strange kind of love Stranger than this We moved in together, my lean-to love bride My eye for her eye, my wake-up call wild And I worked with my fingers, with blood on the stone She said that she loved me, then left me alone I walked seven nights with her dress in my hands Till each of its buttons lay crushed on the ground The people round here talk like I've gone insane Say they don't know her, I've made up her name But they don't remember, they don't remember They don't remember the love that she gave But I remember, I remember And she remembers, I know that she does All the good times we had, for better for worse I still recall, and my memory's my curse And I see her sometimes run through the trees I don't care what they say, cause I'm down on my knees Saying... Come home, come home Come home, come home Come home, come home Come home, my love And stranger than that I still feel her kiss A strange kind of love Stranger than this Stranger than that And stranger than this A stranger to love Stranger than this Stranger than this A love stranger than this
