You were the deep well In earth-and-ocean class And on the days you showed I’d try to make you laugh Cliques drift and Converge in with a crash And there we were, desk to desk A young mountain and a strange girl And then we met again at university You said I came to you in a heavy dream. Life in a glass house, you said was your secret theme. Sometimes you creep me out Have I ever told you you’re a strange girl? We were silver moths Around a naked bulb On my parents’ porch that night It was love And it kept moving I know you oh so well Since we were 15 So well I feel my joints When your weather’s shifting I’ll be your confidante Across the continents You may one day be queen But to me you’ll always be that strange girl
