Cousteau

Well I was born a blue melody
A little song my mama sang to me
It was a blue melody
Such a blue
You've never seen

There ain't no wealth
That can buy my pride
There ain't no pain
That can cleanse my soul
No just a blue melody
Sailing far away from me

One summer mornin'
I was raised
But I don't know
One summer morning
I was left
But I don't know
One summer morning
So all alone

Late in ev'ning
I'll sing in your dreaming

Down from the mountain
Along with the breezes
So close inside
Love grew smiles

So if you hear that blue melody
Won't you please send it home to me
It's just my
Blue melody
Callin' far away to me

The way that he said
Those shining things to you
Sent shiver down your spine
Like you always knew
It echoes around your mind again
Like you always knew
He was the one
The only one for you

The way that he talks
The things that he says to you
Will never leave your side
When the night turns blue
It echoes around your mind again
Like you always knew
He was the one
The only one for you

You know you'll never find another
Who can make you feel so good
You know you'll never find another
Who has really understood you

It's hard to know what's to become
Of memories that are emptied of love
I'm trying hard not to succumb
And i don't want to feel like i need you
Cause if i do then heartache will surely come
When nightime gives way to the sun
Black river passes how quickly it runs
I'm trying hard not to become
And i don't want to feel like it's happening

It's happening
It's happening

Once you spoke of me
So highly then
Now won't even give me
The light of day
Seems like you've fallen
Out of love
Feels like i'm digging
My own grave
And now you've thrown it all away
And how you've thrown it all away
A satellite is falling
From the sky
And an engine
Is failing far away
Everytime you speak
So badly of
All the perfect times
That we did share
And now you've taken it away
And how can these
Memories be saved

Sunlight and somebody
I never knew wrote a smile in your eyes
Midnight has taken you into the blue
With the stars tonight
Something went by me it went through
Something went by me could it be you

He pours another glass of sadness
And on his face you see the miles
And something sweet that used to live there
But hasn't been around in a while
Deep inside him lives a madness
Been gnawing at his bones for years
Have you come to take away the sadness
Have you come to wash away the tears

How can you stop the rain
That keeps on pushing down
It's been falling on you ever since you got
The notion you should run
It's such a part of you

How can you stop the rain
That keeps on pushing down
It's been falling on you ever since you got
The notion you should run
Now it's a part of you

The orchard's golden leaves
Are burning down
Fire closing in
The fruit is blistering
Above you
How can such a pleasure
Be regarded as a sin
A ray of sun limps
Slowly around the room
Wolves are at the door
Baying for their pound
Of flesh but he's gone
And it's impossible to
Hurt you anymore

They circle in the sky
She's sick of holding back
The tide
She pulls the darkness shut
Behind her and says goodnight
She's not coming back

I wish that you were here once
More with me
In the night somewhere
Loveless days and grey eyed
Mornings
Pass beneath the window of
Another dreary day

I watched you wipe the soil
From your face
And hounded down the hill
Sold as it will
And if we should recoil
From this place
Anaesthetised by
Prying eyes
Surrender in grace

Sometime sometime
Sometime

So acquiescent like
It's rent
Bruised and wrecked
And spent
This pallid haggling's
Drained
From me my love
And if the artifice reveals
The tarnish on the seals
Of all the lies we ever made
And who can say
It can't be so
And who can't say
It can be so

Sometime sometime
Sometime

There she goes by night and day
She seems to break the winter down
And I never needed someone like I needed you
I hear her whisper on the wind
Woven into sun and air
And I never wanted someone like I wanted you
You can...

Hold me closer don't ever let go
Pull me nearer and nearer
And hold me like you are all that I know
You never seem to mind

She lays my hands upon my head
Maybe she'll wipe those lines away
And I never needed someone like I needed you
You can...

Hold me closer don't ever let go
Pull me nearer and nearer
And hold me like you are all that I know
You never seem to mind

Can you see that I'm weary
Cause I can see it in you
Fighting against this wind
That's blowing
Times I kissed you softely
Times I touched your hair
Years rolled by without me
Ever knowing you
It's such a frighteneed alliance
That I made with you
We always knew
Where we were going
This joyless silence
Where nothing can cut through
Is it over
Tell me it's over

It didn't catch the flame
It only stayed the same thing
I know you feel it too
I'm aching just like you
To sail away

Now I see that you're weary
I didn't want this for you
It's not the way this
Should be going
We need a little relief
From this wind and rain
Is it over
Tell me it's over
