Strange Weather
Glenn Frey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we are on a summer night, staring at the sea
Tell me is there something wrong?
You know you can talk to me
I can hear it in your voice, I can see it in your eyes
There's a stillness in the air that makes me want to cry

Strange weather, dark clouds in the sky
Strange weather for you and I
We've been through so much together,
But nothing quite like this
Something's come between us now,

I can't feel it in your kiss
So tell me girl what's in your heart,
Just put your hand in mine
I feel the storm is coming soon
And we're running out of time

Strange weather, somehow we'll survive
Strange weather, we'll keep our love alive
Strange weather, dark clouds in the sky
Strange weather for you and I

So think it over one last time, don't say this is the end
'Cause I remember how it use to be,
And it can be that way again

Strange weather, somehow we'll survive
Strange weather, we'll keep our love alive




Strange weather, dark clouds in the sky
Strange weather, for you and I
