John Holt - I'll Take A Melody

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]
