When you're tired and you're far far far from home When you're lost and you're on your own When the fog comes a swirling swirling round you Til you cant see the path before you You should know of the strangest thing You come down like the silent silent snow Til your mind feels as numb as your fingers It was many many many many years ago On the coast of gondwanaland No one heard for the howling howling wind No one heard when they whispered the strangest thing No one saw for the stinging stinging rain No one saw the strangest thing Saw you slip on the icy icy street And i smiled accidentally And you swore at the ice and you swore at me And my heart melted instantly In the warmth of the strangest thing So i'm holding a torch up high for you And the batteries are all brand new But i'm scared they'll wear right through Before you see me shining you Before i've then discovered who Can show me the strangest thing No one heard for the howling howling wind No one heard when they whispered the strangest thing No one saw for the stinging stinging rain No one saw the strangest thing
