That Melancholy Ghost

All

In one day

The planet turned around

Turned around

So

Much has changed

Now you're upside down

Upside down

The moon

Faintly glowing now

The sun

Worlds away

Sad child

Go on cry

That melancholy ghost is haunting your heart

Sad child

Go on cry

That melancholy ghost

Is haunting your young heart

Tears

On your face

Ever so softly burn

Softly burn

Love

Is so unfair

Every mortal learns

We all learn

The earth

Feels so cold tonight

The sky

Seems so dark

Sad child

Go on cry

That melancholy ghost is haunting your heart

Sad child

Go on cry

That melancholy ghost

Is haunting your young heart

Tonight you hear those chains rattling

In the dungeon

Banshees wailing

Warning of impending doom

Honey it's true, the mornin's comin' soon

Just

Yesterday

Your laughter filled the room

Filled the room

Life

Is known to play

Unfunny tricks on you

Tricks on you

The stars

Danced into your dreams

Then vanished

Before your eyes

Sad child

Go on cry

That melancholy ghost is haunting your heart

Sad child

Go on cry

That melancholy ghost

Is haunting your young heart
