Haunted Melody

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Basketballs bounce out of tune The streets are empty and the moon Has shone on Mrs. Parker And her daughter's soda water 'till they swoon [Verse 2] Golden evenings pass me by Beneath a dream of darker eyes And empty on a southbound train Through Battersea in glowing rain, I ride [Chorus] Oh, the music is so loud Enchanting all the faltering crowds To sing again their lonely melody [Bridge] My heart is yours and I love you You keep my mind as well And sometimes here when I touch you It's heaven and it's [Verse 3] So the years have passed me by The library's shelves refract the light And black and white will not make clear The seasons and the reasons and my fear
