OH MELANIE
She would dream that rainbows shot silver tipped arrows
She would dream that unicorns would eat the legs off of men
It would seem that she would dream that her shoes were torn
Clowns made threats
And behind that curtainSomething was thereSomething she's tried to forgetHappiness was a place she couldn't stay
Finding something wrong with every man
Had to say goodby
And wish there was another way
Thanking God I didn't get on my kneesbegging her to stayI can hear myself sayOh Melanie
Please stay
And lay with me
Silence isn't golden when it's so quietI can hear dust fall to the floor
I sweep it up
And it goes away
