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
