  • STRANGE OVERTONES

    I wake up ev'ry morning
    I hear your feet on the stairs
    You're in the next apartment
    I hear you singing over there-

    This groove is out of fashion
    These beats are 20 years old
    I saw you lend a hand to
    The one's out standing in the cold--

    Strange Overtones
    In the music you are playing
    I'll harmonize
    It is strong and you are tough
    But a heart is not enough-

    Put on your socks and mittens
    It's getting colder tonight
    A snowball in my kitchen
    I watched it melt before my eyes-

    Your song still needs a chorus
    I know you'll figure it out
    The rising of the verses
    A change of key will let you out-

    Strange overtones
    Though they're slightly out of fashion
    I'll harmonize
    I see the music in your face
    That your words cannot explain

    Strange Overtones
    In the music you are playing
    We're not alone
    It is strong and you are tough
    But a heart is not enough-
