Sweet Melancholy

Sweet melancholy was such a hungry beast
Sleeps in total darkness and purrs like a machine
Tell me that I'm pretty, tell me you'll never leave
Nobody likes the lonely, or perhaps they don't like me

Sweet melancholy, take me back into your loving arms
Sweet melancholy, take me back into your loving arms

And it's sweet irony that we are such good friends
I thought that I'd escaped you, but all good things can end
I think you look a bit like Jesus, God bless the low and blue
Nobody likes the lonely, but I am tied to you

Sweet Melancholy
Take me back into your loving arms
Sweet Melancholy
Take me back into your loving arms

God bless, the optimist
Pink velvet, the madness
The hopeful and the ugly
Alone Again

Sweet Melancholy
Take me back into your loving arms
Sweet Melancholy
Take me back into your loving arms
