Lyrics
Strange Melody
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
As she lay beside the young man, for a moment
She'd forgotten, who she'd become
And paths he dreamed to follow, reminded her Of sorrows, once had won
And all the words he told her
The colours how they showed her
All that she'd lost
And everyday the same day
Revolving in the same way
How it broke her heart
But no one else can hear
No one else can save her now
So quietly, life's strange melody
Won't be heard
She walks into the water
With tired linen shawl, oh I wonder why
And as the waves unfolding
Like the voices never knowing
Inside her head
But as her thoughts surround her
Like the ocean tide around her
Why will they say
But everyone is lonely
And inside if only
So silently
But no one else can hear
No one else can save her now
So quietly, life's strange melody
Won't be heard
But no one else can hear
No one else can save her now
So quietly, life's strange melody
Won't be heard
But no one else can hear
No one else can save her now
So quietly, life's strange melody
Won't be heard
