Title Laurie (Strange things happen)
Lyrictext

Last night at the dance I met Laurie
So lovely and warm
An angel of a girl
Last night I fell in love with Laurie
Strange things happen in this world

As I walked her home
She said it was her birthday
I pulled her close and said
Will I see you anymore

And suddenly she asked for my sweater
And said that she was very very cold
I kissed her goodnight at her door
And started home

Then thought about my sweater
And went right back instead
I knocked at her door
And a man appeared
I told him why I'd come
And he said

You're wrong son
You weren't with my daughter
How can you be so cruel
To come to me this way
My Laurie left this
World on her birthday
She died a year ago today

A strange force drew me to the graveyard
I stood in the dark
I saw the shadows wave
And then I looked and saw my sweater
Lying there upon her grave
Strange things happen in this world
