Lyrics
Melancholy mood forever haunts me Steals upon me in the night Forever taunts me Oh, what a lonely soul am I Stranded high and dry By a melancholy mood

Gone is every joy and inspiration Tears are all I have to show No consolation All I can see is grief and gloom Till the crack of doom Oh, melancholy mood

Deep in the night I search for a trace Of a lingering kiss, a warm embrace But love is a whimsy And as flimsy as lace And my arms embrace an empty space

Melancholy mood, why must you blind me Pity me and break the chains The chains that bind me Won't you release me, set me free Bring him back to me Oh, melancholy mood

Deep in the night I search for a trace Of a lingering kiss, a warm embrace But love is a whimsy As flimsy as lace And my arms embrace an empty space

Melancholy mood, why must you blind me Pity me and break the chains The chains that bind me Won't you release me, set me free Bring him back to me Oh, melancholy mood

And set me free Oh, melancholy mood
