Текст песни: Laurie (Strange Things Happen) + перевод

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?»

Then 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 why I’d come, then 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

Lyin' there upon her grave.

Strange things happen in this world.
