Still It Takes Me By Surprise Lyrics - Tony Banks

It can be strange 

In the world we live in 

So many things are not how they appear 

We sit and talk 

Of what it doesn't matter 

The meaning of the words we use 

hides behind the sound 

Yet still it takes me by surprise 

How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind 

With thoughts which even now I can't control 

How simple words and gestures 

make the world seem right 

No matter what they say 

No matter what they say

It's hard to believe 

That once we met as strangers 

Not knowing of the life that we would share 

You lead me on 

Through new ways unfamiliar 

Or down a road we travelled many times before 

Yet still it takes me by surprise 

How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind 

With thoughts which even now I can't control 

How simple words and gestures 

make the world seem right 

No matter what they say 

No matter what they say 

The years go by 

Older yet no wiser 

Our hearts and minds remain as they once were 

And after all the time 

That we have been together 

So many times we must have been this way before

Yet still it takes me by surprise 

How the feeling overtakes me and fills my mind 

With thoughts which even now I can't control 

How simple words and gestures 

Make the world seem right 

No matter what they say 

No matter what they say
