Love Is a Melody

Love is like a melody
It haunts my every memory
The harmony is dissonant despair
The orchestra is tuning up
Its doors as swung as swiftly shut
I think about you more than I can bear
Love is like a minor key
A jaded weeping willow tree
Hooks its claws until the blood is drawn
The audience is spilling out
I slip into the busy crowd
Still your face remains inside my door (?)
I could sleep until the summertime
Maybe then I'd get the peace of mind
Cut the wires in my telephone line
Even in the dead of night
I toss and turn like a little child
A heavy heart can never be satisfied
Love is a melody
A deafening symphony
I'll sing from the heavens
Love is a melody
A desperate symphony
I'll sing from the heavens
Can you, can you hear me?
Love is like a melody
The fever to the remedy
I see you like a silent movie star
If you could step out of the screen
And wake me from this wretched dream
I can only watch you from afar
I could sleep until the summertime
Maybe then I'd get the peace of mind
Cut the wires in my telephone line
Even in the dead of night
I toss and turn like a little child
A heavy heart can never be satisfied
Love is a melody
A deafening symphony
I'll sing from the high hills (?)
Love is a melody
A desperate symphony
I'll sing from the high hills (?)
Can you, can you hear me?
Love is like a minor key
A widow in the cemetery
Whose make-up leaves a trail upon the ground
I thought I saw a name in lights
That was there before my life
The song I sing is never sung aloud
Love is just a melody
You will never hear me make a sound
