The Clientele — Haunted Melody lyrics

Lyrics

basketballs bounce out of tune
the streets are empty &the moon
has shone on Mrs. Porter
&her daughter’s soda water 'till they swoon
golden evenings pass me by beneath a dream of darker eyes
&empty on a southbound train
through Battersea in glowing rain
I ride
oh the music is so loud
enchanting all the faltering crowd
to sing again their lonely melody
my heart is yours &I love you
you keep my mind as well
&sometimes here when I touch you
it’s heaven &it's
so the years have passed me by the library’s shelves refract the light
&black &white will not make clear
the seasons &the reasons &my fear
