Strange Things

[Verse 1]

I lost my wife in 1989

To a certain kind of undetectable cancer

She left me alone in a seven-bedroom home

Built upon the bones of fallen soldiers

I don’t recall putting that picture on the wall

The one of mother and child at Easter time

[Chorus]

I hear strange things creeping in the night

I have strange dreams in the bed where Lucy died

[Verse 2]

The day that Lucy died was the hottest of the summer

The family all stood around her sweating

When she expired, they all went back to the city

I’ve never seen a living soul again

I buried her down beneath the garden that Lucy proudly grew

The whitest rose that ever was in bloom

[Chorus]

I hear strange things creeping in the night

I have strange dreams in the bed where Lucy died

I hear strange things creeping in the night

I have strange dreams in the bed where Lucy died
