In melancholy mind leave the world behind
And when you return what you learn what you find
Is a soap opera life hasn't changed still the same

The people that you meet haven't missed a beat
Only the clock on the wall has kept up with spring or fall
Turning back who are you looking for in melancholy mind

Close the bedroom door and no lady there
To kiss your lips or take her fingertips
Slowly through your hair

Outside the window you stare
At empty clothes pins on a line
Except for one pillow case so fall asleep in melancholy mind
