Sweet Melancholy

Sweet melancholy

Sweet melancholy such hungry beast

Sleeps in total darkness and purrs like a machine

Tell me that I’m pretty tell me you’ll never leave

Nobody likes the lonely or perhaps they don’t like me

Sweet melancholy, take me back into your loving arms

Sweet melancholy, take me back in to your loving arms

It’s sweet irony that we are such good friends

I thought that I’d escaped you but all good things can end

I think you look a bit like Jesus, God bless the low and blue

Nobody likes the lonely but I am tied to you

Sweet Melancholy

Take me back into your loving arms

Sweet Melancholy

Take me back into your loving arms

God bless, the optimist

Pink velvet, the madness

The hopeful and the ugly

Alone. Again.

Sweet Melancholy

Take me back into your loving arms

Sweet Melancholy

Take me back into your loving arms
