Strangest thing days I feel like dirt And then I see the diamond dust on everything Strangest thing something plucks my nerve And then I hear a hundred chords a-shimmering
Strangest thing the way that one guitar Can move me more than any symphony Strangest thing when it stars to pour I feel the sadness and the pain go out of me
I don’t feel sad when Cash wears black I hear the train comin’ Good things down the railroad track ya gotta believe in somethin’
Yeah the strangest thing that assassin’ gun It was a-trained to fire away on anyone Strangest thing the way a stranger wept for him And how she spilt a tear of love Yeah the strangest thing the way that hope can hide itself Behind the walls of anything
I don’t feel sad when Cash wears black I hear the train comin’ Good things down the railroad track ya gotta believe in somethin’
Strangest thing like a potion to unspell The curse of human suffering Stangest thing strangest things befall Even the strongest of us all
