JOHN HOLT
- I'll Take A Melody Lyrics / with translationsI'VE SEEN THE RAIN POURING DOWN
THE SKY WAS GREY WITH A SPECK OF BLUE
PEEK THROUGH A HOLE IN THE CLOUDS
THE SUN WAS SCREAMING, "HEY YOU"
AS YOU RAMBLE THROUGH YOUR SORROW
SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING COME OUT WRONG
I'M LIVING IN YESTERDAY'S TOMORROWS
I KNOW SOMETHING'S HELPING ME ALONG
CHORUS
I'LL TAKE A MELODY AND SEE
WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT IT
I'LL TAKE A SIMPLE C TO G
AND FEEL BRAND NEW ABOUT IT
I UNDERSTAND WHY THE OLD FISHERMAN
SAIL ALONE, SAIL ALONE, SAIL ALONE
(SAIL ALONE, SAIL ALONE)
SOMEDAY HE'LL BE GONE
I HEAR YOU TALKING 'BOUT YOUR TROUBLES
EVERYBODY'S GOT THEIR TROUBLES TOO
YOU CAN MAKE THEM BURST LIKE BUBBLES
IF YOU KNOW JUST WHAT TO DO
YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN CALLED A DREAMER
DREAMS THAT NEVER WILL COME TRUE
BUT I'VE BEEN CALLED SO MANY THINGS BEFORE
TELL YOU WHAT I'M GONNA DO
[CHORUS]
I UNDERSTAND WHY THE OLD FISHERMAN
SAIL ALONE, SAIL ALONE, SAIL ALONE
(SAIL ALONE, SAIL ALONE)
SOMEDAY HE'LL BE GONE
[CHORUS]
THE SKY WAS GREY WITH A SPECK OF BLUE
PEEK THROUGH A HOLE IN THE CLOUDS
THE SUN WAS SCREAMING, "HEY YOU"
AS YOU RAMBLE THROUGH YOUR SORROW
SEEMS LIKE EVERYTHING COME OUT WRONG
I'M LIVING IN YESTERDAY'S TOMORROWS
I KNOW SOMETHING'S HELPING ME ALONG
CHORUS
I'LL TAKE A MELODY AND SEE
WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT IT
I'LL TAKE A SIMPLE C TO G
AND FEEL BRAND NEW ABOUT IT
I UNDERSTAND WHY THE OLD FISHERMAN
SAIL ALONE, SAIL ALONE, SAIL ALONE
(SAIL ALONE, SAIL ALONE)
I HEAR YOU TALKING 'BOUT YOUR TROUBLES
EVERYBODY'S GOT THEIR TROUBLES TOO
YOU CAN MAKE THEM BURST LIKE BUBBLES
IF YOU KNOW JUST WHAT TO DO
YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN CALLED A DREAMER
DREAMS THAT NEVER WILL COME TRUE
BUT I'VE BEEN CALLED SO MANY THINGS BEFORE
TELL YOU WHAT I'M GONNA DO
[CHORUS]
I UNDERSTAND WHY THE OLD FISHERMAN
SAIL ALONE, SAIL ALONE, SAIL ALONE
(SAIL ALONE, SAIL ALONE)
SOMEDAY HE'LL BE GONE
[CHORUS]
