indigo girls – life so strange lyrics
“life’s so strange” is an emily saliers song. the only performance i
have of it is from carboro, north carolina, on 21 march 1988.
stylistically, it seems to fit pretty tightly into that time period,
so i don’t think it was written too much earlier than that.
cold black coffee, incessant stream of cars
cigarette ash lies sprinkled like a fistful of grey stars
yesterday it rained silver rainbows on the ground
today the rain’s just water – it won’t stop from falling down.
i get weary waiting for my muse
but in between the times she comes
i still have to tie my shoes
and get on with my day
there are mornings when i’m with (?)
and there are days i have to take the bus.
life’s so rich…
life’s so empty…
secret rendezvous, long distance from a phone booth
like two players in a mystery straight out of our youth
well i’m finding that dramatics have lost their old appeal
i play the part of stoic lover, but i’m not sure how i feel
i get discouraged waiting for the world
to understand this love affair
to understand the girl
there are mornings when amelia’s right beside me
the next thing i know, i taste the salt of the sea.
life’s so rich…
life’s so empty…
cold black coffee, incessant stream of cars
cigarette ash lies sprinkled like a fistful of grey stars
yesterday it rained silver rainbows on the ground
today the rain’s just water – it won’t stop from falling down.
as i grow weary, i’m waiting for the world
to understand this love affair
to understand the girl
there are mornings when amelia’s right beside me
the next thing i know, i taste the salt of the sea.
life’s so rich…
life’s so empty…
life’s so strange.
