Lyrics Strange day over the hill - Strawbs

Strange day over the hill

The sky was like a crystal, it was sapphire blue
I was like a kid again, so were you
It’s a strange day, a strange day over the hill
The sun came round to polish up the copper beech
The leaves were black as leather where the sun don’t reach
It’s a strange day, a strange day over the hill
I was close enough to heaven as a man could be
Knowing I had solved your little mystery
It’s a strange day, a strange day over the hill
We could hear the distant compromise of wedding bells
As we leaned on one another bidding fond farewells
It’s a strange day, a strange day over the hill
As we drove into the valley, the mist rolled down
We were in the grip of winter in our own home town
It’s a strange day, a strange day over the hill
The lights were shining brightly in the house across the street
I was looking for adventure, I was turning on the heat
I shivered in the shadows, it was cold as hell
The church bell sounded seven going, well, well, well
It’s a strange day, a strange day over the hill
