Sorrow fills my heart up,
As the ocean floods the bay,
I wonder if it's going to rain today.
Little bits of silly songs,
Cascade around my ears,
They've followed me around so many years.
How can we live our lives,
Clung to the edge of a precipice?
Staring out over the cliff top,
Waiting to fall,
We see the water rise,
And yet we are powerless,
Maybe there's somebody out there,
To blame for it all.
The song's long gone,
But the melody drifts on the wind.
The song's long gone,
But the melody drifts on the wind.
We turn our hearts to prayer,
Standing in awe at the edifice,
Scanning the screen for a signal,
Gripping the 'phone,
What if there's no one there?
Maybe nobody's listening,
To a voice lost out in the hurricane,
Shouting alone.
The song's long gone,
But the melody drifts on the wind.
Sorrow flows out of me,
As the ocean quits the bay,
It's going to be another perfect day.
