The Melody
Woke from a dream to the sound of the melody
A mouthful of dust in a house full of cats
Couldn’t make out the words, but I knew what they said to me
The warmth of the morning came in through the cracks
(C) Oh how I wished that that song was for me
But it went out to no one and that was the beauty
I knew I couldn’t touch it, but it still embraced me
And there, in the heat and the light I was free
Wrapped up in heartstrings, in webs we were tangled
It was a summer of love, and a summer of loss
With the sunrise, another night martyred and mangled
But we kept plunging on, unaware of the cost
I wasn’t quite sure what my own life was worth
I was hoping that you or somebody would tell me
But an earful of song and a heart full of hurt
Gave up all the answers my eyes couldn’t read
(C)
Well, one day I got up and left it for good
All of the drama and all of the pain
But learning’s about what you don’t know so I would
Go back and do it all over again (Not change a thing if I did it again)
And sometimes I miss you and sometimes I wonder
Sometimes I wish I could just go back
To the light, to the song, to the spell I was under
To the warmth of the morning, seeping in through the cracks
(C)
