With a strange way of walkin'
More lives than a cat that let me astray
Wonderin', well, I just couldn't discern
(Alive)
With a strange way of walkin'
(Alive)
Will he come back, come back to me?
Alive, alive, oh
I was feelin' sensations in no dictionary
Oh, he would shift, he would not shift at all
Oh, I whispered will you ever return?
He was less than a breath of shimmer and smoke
(Alive)
I opened my coat but he never came closer
I awoke
The life in his fingers unwound my existence
Dead to the world alive I awoke
I bolted the door and whispered, oh well
Lo, I turned under his spell
Dead to the world alive I awoke
Dead to the world and I just slipped away
(I awoke)
Alive I awoke
And a strange way of breathin'
More lives than a cat that let me astray
We sat for a while, he was very engagin'
All in all, he captured my heart
I'm here a whisperin', you summoned, I called
(Alive)
And a strange way of breathin'
With a strange way of walkin'
Alive, alive, oh
Alive
I awoke
I heard me a music that drew me to dancin'
Alive I awoke
I formed me a presence whose aspect was changin'
Less than a breath of shimmer and smoke
I laid in the rushes, the air was upon me
And when he was gone, I was gone on a smile
Come a mist, an air so appealing
Dead to the world and just slipped away
All in all, he captured my heart
(I awoke)
(Alive I awoke)
And a strange way of breathin'
The life in his fingers unwound my existence
