Tori Amos – Strange (From Scarlet's Walk) 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
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 a snowflake
under a microscope

After all what was I
really looking for and I wonder
when will I learn
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 feel you still
but strange
what I will leave behind
you call me one more
time
but now I must
be leaving
