Sounds Like A Melody Lyrics

it's a trick of my mind
to faces bathing in the screenlight
she's so soft and warm in my arms
i tune it into the scene
my hand are resting on her shoulders
when we're dancing away for a while
oh, we're moving, we're falling, we step into the fire
by the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream
there's no reason to hurry, just start that brand new story
set it alight, we're head over heels in love
head over heels

the ringing of your laughter it sounds like a melody
to once forbidden places we'll go for a while

it's the definite show
our shadows resting in the moonlight
it's so clear and bright in your eyes
it's the touch of your sighs
my lips are resting on your shoulder
when we're moving so soft and slow
we need the extasy, the jelousy, the comedy of love
like the cary grants and kellys once before
give me more tragedy, more harmony and phantasy, my love
and set it alight, just starting that satellite
set it alight

"phantasy, my love" Is actually "Fantasy, my dear"

@gabedachink Obviously "fantasy" is the proper spelling, but whenever I've seen these lyrics written out, it has always been "phantasy" - I think it might have been spelled that way in the liner notes for the album.

I think it's about when love is so good that it almost feels like magic. I think it’s that he is trying to describe. The melody is really cool, and the voice. I always get a picture of a couple hugging each other and dancing in purple moonlight, In love.

Any one has a coment on the line "by the hour of the wolf in a midnight dream"? THe only reference i find is to a 1960's very messed up Horror film called hour of the wolf (that would explaint he bird man and lady in the hat in the video, both demons in the movie, if what i read is right?) But the song is to sweet to refer to anythisg so dark as that? or is it? "Faces behind the screen light?" is that a movie reference?

A bit late to reply perhaps, but the hour of the wolf is not necessarily a film reference. It's an expression that refers to the time each night just before dawn, usually between 3 and 5. Thusly, the sentence becomes two time different references, a play with words. A bit more lighthearted than Bergmans film.

It's a metaphor for movies. "...Two faces bathed in screenlight" "...I tune it into the scene..." "...just start that brand new story..." "Set it alight"
