John Holt I'll Take A Melody Lyrics

I'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]
