Strange Way

(album: Elan - 1978)

Didn't I hear you cry this morning, didn't I feel you weep?
Teardrops flowing down on me, like rivers in my sleep.
And in my dream of laughter, you came creeping with your fears.
Telling me your sorrows, in the tracings of your tears.

That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody, don't cry to me, no
Don't cry to me, no

Didn't I hear your voice this morning, didn't you call my name?
I heard you whisper softly, but the words were never plain.
And in your dream of darkness, I came shining like the sun.
Waiting for the laughter, but the laughter never comes.

That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody, don't cry to me, no
Don't cry to me, no

Didn't you feel alone this morning, didn't you need a friend?
And in your darkest hour, you came running back again

That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
