LYRICS

strange
Thought I knew you well
Thought I had read the sky
Thought I had read a change
in your eyes
so strange
Woke up to a world
that I am
not a part
except when I can
play it's stranger

After all what were you
really looking for and I wonder
when will I learn
Blue isn't red
everybody knows this
and I wonder
when will I learn
when will I learn
guess I was in
Deeper than I thought I was
if I have enough love
for the both of us

"just stay"
you said
"we'll build a nest"
so I left my
Life
Tried on your
friends
Tried on your
opinions
So when the Bridges froze
and you
did not come home
I put our snowflake
under a microscope

After all what was I
really looking for and I wonder
when will I learn
Maybe my wish
knew better than I did
and I wonder
when will I learn
when will I learn
guess I was in
Deeper than I thought I was
if I have enough love
for the both of us

so strange now I'm finally in the
Party has begun
it's not like I can't feel you still
but strange
what I will leave behind
you call me one more
time
but now I must
be leaving

COMMENTS

On STRANGE, Scarlet's journey takes her to the sites of some of the last stands of the native American people, including Little Big Horn. From there she journeys on through the Bad Lands. "Scarlet has taken on the beliefs of her lovers and on another level those of her country. But she's begun to question them. We are taught that America stands for democracy. But that's not what she's seeing."
-- Scarlet's Walk bio

"Strange comes, I think, in the cold and the ice and the snow. There's a beauty to it that's always, um...made me fall in love, I guess. I can fall in love in this now. (laughs) I guess it's a good thing to remember. The ice is very sexy to me. And they're blowing this ice smoke back and forth. That's what, anyway, that's what it does for me. So, yeah, I could fall in love in the snow and have done many times. And so, I guess Scarlet's falling in love in the snow here and she, uhh, she follows him. Maybe she's in love a moment in time, as much as anything else. And maybe part of it is a memory of someone that she's breathing into him. But at a certain point, she...she knows that, umm, she can't be the only one that has enough love here."
