Melancholy Blues - Tow'rs

I used to think your teeth were just white curtains

Acts of optimism just to hide

I confused bitterness for enlightenment

I’ll admit that I’m still not satisfied

At least now I’ve seen

Now I see

You were only trying to light a candle

But I stood on the shore and cursed the night

Slowly unraveling a time when

I needed melancholy blues to keep going

Ooh, ooh

Yesterday you told me that you loved me

I wanted to ask if you knew what that means

My eyes have crossed feet and no less, as they’ve seen

It’s the prison box of what appears free

At least now I see

Now I see

You were only trying to light a candle

But I stood on the shore and cursed the night

Slowly unraveling a time when

I needed melancholy blues to keep going
