[Verse 1: Sarah McLachlan]
We walk without a sound
Across a barren landscape
Your eyes are twisted down
To a dew entrailed ground
We watch the stars as they slowly fade away
And in the clearing sky I see
The cold stone face of morning
Setting in on me

[Chorus: Sarah McLachlan & Dave Kershaw, Dave Kershaw]
It's a strange world
It's a very strange world
That leaves me holding on to nothing
When there's nothing left to lose

[Verse 2: Sarah McLachlan]
Your touch is cold and damp
The devil's in your eyes
I wonder why I always let you
Lead me on this way
'Cause you see only what you want to see
Feel only as you want to
I am on the outside
Of your strange world
[Chorus: Sarah McLachlan & Dave Kershaw, Dave Kershaw]
It's a strange world
It's a very strange world
That leaves me holding on to nothing
When there's nothing left to lose

[Verse 3: Sarah McLachlan]
We're walking hand in hand
We'll walk this way forever
Our eyes have risen to the water's edge
Watching with the tides
The stars have fallen to another day
And the sun warms our path to find
That reason leaves us far behind
In our strange world

[Chorus: Sarah McLachlan & Dave Kershaw, Dave Kershaw]
It's a strange world
It's a very strange world
That leaves me holding on to nothing
When there's nothing left to lose
