MELANIE

Melanie where did you go, into the night where it snows/
For you and the holes in your heart, the wine and the whiskey they flow/
Down the skin of your breast and all the way onto your toes/

You’ll kiss it and call it your love, you’ll carry him down to the coast/
And wash him in water so warm and rattle your sweet baby bones/

Melanie where did you run, into the black summer sun/
And you clinch your teeth in the dark, where stage lights forget to shine/
For the sake of those sparks that burst into color and shine/

You’ll kiss it and call it your love, you’ll bury it under your bed/
And wrap it in covers so bright and rattle your sweet baby head/

Where will you run?

Melanie where did you go, into the night where it snows/
So white and cold and you know your flowers beginning to die/
Turned grey from gold and falling down slow through the sky/

You’ll kiss it and call it your life, you’ll follow him down to the ground/
And wrap it in colors so bright and make all your beautiful sounds/
