G This is a strange affair CGC The time has come to travel but the road is filled with fear G This is a strange affair CGC My youth has all been wasted and I'm bent and grey with years
FCGC And all my companions are taken away FCGC And who will provide for me against my dying day? FCDmAmG I took my own provision but it threw me and wasted away CFGC This is a strange, this is a strange affair
Oh, where are my companions? My mother, father, lover, friend and enemy Where are my companions? They're prisoners of death now and taken far from me And where are the dreams I dreamed in the days of my youth? They took me to illusion and they promised me the truth And what do sleepers need to make them listen, why do they need more proof This is a strange, this is a strange affair
