Melancholy

Melancholy
Mornings, they take me by surprise
I'd rather be elsewhere so I close my eyes
And I follow the sounds to the yellow brick road
Where everything is coloured in patches of grey
And everyone they greet you with a smile and a handshake

Melancholy, daydreams and moonbeams and stars falling down
And roses spring from heaven, raindrops sprout from the ground
And the sky is your body, the moon's your face
The sun is my reflection on a sunny day
The clouds are my companions when you're awake

If you could see me here skating across the horizon, flirting
With the stars heading straight for the moon
You would join me in my elation on this melancholy morning
In my melancholy

Daydreams, they carry me, weightless I become
I'm floating and drifting wherever I want
And I can't tell you, baby where I'll be next time
I can't tell you that I'll be anywhere near
Just look beyond your wildest dreams and you'll find me there

Melancholy, my natural high
I can't get enough and I don't want to know why
I just want to captured by daydreams big and wide
Don't try to release me, don't you dare try

If you want, just have fun and wave when you pass by
Come on baby, come on over to this side
Where melancholy daydreams are never too wide
