Featured Unknown/Underrated Song*: "Strange Way" By Firefall

"Strange Way" was a bit of a departure for Firefall, which had scored on romantic songs such as "You Are The Woman" and "Just Remember I Love You".  Besides the approach the protagonist takes in the song, David Muse delivers a screaming flute solo. 

"Strange Way" ran into competition such as "Kiss You All Over", "Reminiscing", "The Gambler", "Le Freak", "You Don't Bring Me Flowers", and Donna Summer's "MacArthur Park".  Looking at that lineup, the #11 peak for "Strange Way" doesn't look so bad:
 

"Strange Way"
Firefall
 
Lyrics and Music by Rick Roberts
 
Didn't I hear you cry this mornin
didn't I feel you weep
Teardrops falling down on me
Like rivers in my sleep
 
In my dream of laughter
You came creeping with your tears
Telling me your sorrow
In the trace ends of your tears
 
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me
No don't cry to me
 
Didn't I hear your voice this morning
Didn't you call my name
I heard you whisper softly
But the words were never plain

And in your dream of darkness
I came shinin like a sun
Waiting for the laughter
But the last I never caught
(Repeat Chorus)
 
Didn't you feel alone this mornin
didn't you need a friend
And in your darkest hour
You came runnin back again
 
In my dream of laughter
You came creeping with your tears
Telling me your sorrow
In the trace end of your tears
 
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me
No don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
 
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
Didn't I hear you cry this mornin
didn't I feel you weep
Teardrops falling down on me
Like rivers in my sleep

In my dream of laughter
You came creeping with your tears
Telling me your sorrow
In the trace ends of your tears

That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me
No don't cry to me

Didn't I hear your voice this morning
Didn't you call my name
I heard you whisper softly
But the words were never plain
And in your dream of darkness
I came shinin like a sun
Waiting for the laughter
But the last I never caught
(Repeat Chorus)

Didn't you feel alone this mornin
didn't you need a friend
And in your darkest hour
You came runnin back again

In my dream of laughter
You came creeping with your tears
Telling me your sorrow
In the trace end of your tears

That's a strange way to tell me you love me
When your sorrow is all I can see
If you just want to cry to somebody
Don't cry to me
No don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
Don't cry to me
Don't cry to me

That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
That's a strange way to tell me you love me
