Strange Affair - Richard & Linda Thompson

作词：Richard Thompson

作曲：Richard Thompson

This is a strange affair

The time has come to travel

but the road is filled with fear

This is a strange affair

My youth has all been wasted

and I'm bent and grey with years

And all my companions are taken away

And who will provide for me

against my dying day

I took my own provision

but it fooled me and wasted away

This is a strange

This is a strange affair

Oh where are my companions

My mother father lover friend and enemy

Where are my companions

They're prisoners of death now

and taken far from me

And where are the dreams

I dreamed in the days of my youth

They took me to illusion

when they promised me the truth

And what do sleepers

need to make them listen

Why do they need more proof

This is a strange this is a strange affair
