Lyrics
Melancholy Blue
The sweet fruit has turned bitter
It's all come undone
Don't think the worse is over
It's only just begun
An old couple holding hands
A single toothbrush hanging in the stand
I must have been born, melancholy blue
I must have been born, born to be blue
I'd feel you move beside me,
I wondered where you'd been
One thing is for certain
It always smelled like sin
A young couple getting wed
A single pillow sitting on the bed
I must have been born, melancholy blue
I must have been born, born to be blue
They say that time is a healer,
Don't have time to spend
It's going to be a living hell
To fall alone again
An old couple holding hands
a single toothbrush hanging in the stand
I must have been born, melancholy blue
I must have been born, born to be blue...
