a gloomy sky above me
|
a puddle on the ground
|
but something's gotta change
|
'cause there's no sunshine to be found
|
my vision is obscured
|
by these endless murky clouds
|
but something's gotta change right now
|
i can hear a faraway sound
|
|
i can hear a distant melody
|
oh how it clings to me
|
on this lovely summer night
|
my ears are captured by its harmony
|
it's like a symphony
|
with a theme so pure and light
|
|
a churchbell rings
|
and that soulful trumpet
|
sings of lovers lost and found
|
listen closely you can hear it roar
|
a soothing swinging tune
|
with a melody in c
|
|
can you hear that distant melody
|
oh how it sends me reeling
|
makes my heart take flight
|
my technicolour ragtime band joins in
|
makes all my troubles vanish
|
into the pitch - dark night
|
|
this upbeat tune's
|
got me flying to the moon
|
sending shivers down my spine
|
|
a churchbell rings
|
and that soulful trumpet
|
sings of lovers lost and found
|
listen closely you can hear it roar
|
a soothing swinging tune
|
with a melody in c
|
|
oh what a melody
|
oh what a melody in c
|
