Lyrics

Wonder what’s happened to me, struck in between the eyes
Now I am where I’m not supposed be, I wish the sky would tell me why
Scrambled over the stony wall, over to the other side
All of a sudden, out of nothing at all, came a star and all was fine

The cry of the girl as she flies hides a melody
I heard it before, now it melts away before I could see
She told me to listen when I couldn’t hear as she sings
But I do, and I see her too.

The road took a turn and all was dark, so I turned on the lights
She slipped past before I could start, so I turned to her and I cried
Hey you, come on back. Kindly sing that song
But in a dream there’s no looking back, the melody’s too far gone.

The cry of the girl as she flies hides a melody
I heard it before, now it melts away before I could see
She told me to listen when I couldn’t hear as she sings
But I do, and I see her too.

Twist and turn, sink and swim. I try to scramble on
Everything’s slow in a dream, until they hit the gong
Then there she is by my side, the sky’s still dark and it bombed
The birds are chirping but I let it slide, a dream where I don’t belong.

The cry of the girl as she flies hides a melody
I heard it before, now it melts away before I could see
She told me to listen when I couldn’t hear as she sings
But I do, and I see her too.
