Something Strange Songtext
von Doug Ashdown

Saw something strange
I don′t know what the time of day was
I just walked out on the street and I saw a man
Trying to catch some water in a can
I asked him what he was trying to do
Said, "I'm thirsty just like you"
He offered me a drink and I felt good
Said, "Could I catch some water?" He said I could
Saw something strange
Saw a woman lying with her feet inside a wall
I asked her what she was doing there
Said, "My shoes, they are too small"
I said, "Here, take mine, they′re a size nine" She put them on and she was gone
Saw something strange
Saw a child a-playing with a ball
She threw it at me and I caught it, that's not all
The child was crying for her mother who was dead
So I took her inside, gave her some bread and water and she said
"That man who caught the water in the can
Once was my father, he was so grand
The woman with her feet inside a wall
Wasn't my mother after all
No, she wasn′t my mother after all
My mother died when I was born"
