Love Is A Minor Key

Love is like a melody It haunts my every memory The harmony is dissonant despair The orchestra is tuning up As doors are swung and swiftly shut I think about you more than I can bear Love is like a minor key A jaded weeping willow tree It hooks its claws until the blood is drawn The audience is spilling out I slip into the busy crowd But still your face remains after I’m gone I could sleep until the summertime Maybe then I’d get the peace of mind Cut the wires of my telephone line But even in the dead of night I toss and turn like a little child A heavy heart can never be satisfied Love is like a melody A fever to the remedy I see you like a silent movie star If you could step out of the screen And wake me from this wretched dream But I can only watch you from afar I could sleep until the summertime Maybe then I’d get the peace of mind Cut the wires of my telephone line But even in the dead of night I toss and turn like a little child A heavy heart can never be satisfied Love is like a melody It may ruin me A deafening symphony That pulls at the seams Trapped in the rhapsody That plays the wrong notes It’s killing me slowly So please let me go Don’t let me go Please let me go Don’t let me go Love is like a minor key The widow in the cemetery Whose make-up leaves a trail upon the ground I thought I saw our name in lights But that was in a former life The song I sing is never sung aloud And love is just a melody And you will never even make a sound
