Song Out Of My Head

I wish I found it easier to forget
Oh this haunted melody that's been playing in my head
And I drank all of the wine that I had left
Try to lose the faded memories but they haven't left me yet
Oh the songs of love and leaving can't describe
All the love that's lost in traveling through this life
Some is drowned in circumstance and some in time
But the memories that are left won't drown beneath a sea of wine
I've got to get this song out of my head
The one with all the lines I wish would have said
The final verse won't let me be it keeps repeating
It goes spinning on and on without an end
I've got to get this song out of my head
I keep waking up I've been up half the night
All these restless scattered notes keep playing in my mind
Pull the curtain and I try to close my eyes
But they hover in the dark like birds whose wings are tipped with light
I've got to get this song out of my head
The one with endless verses of regret
And the fiddle plays a tune I cannot place but can't forget
That goes drifting out and shifting round my bed
I've got to get this song out of my head
In the dark you sit up searching for the sound
The one that pulled you from your flying dreams and held you to the ground
Don't let it get to you don't let it bring you down
There'll be a song to lift you up again and you will come around
I've got to get this song out of my head
The one with all the lines I wish I would've said
The final verse won't let me be it keeps repeating
It goes spinning on and on without an end
I've got to get this song out of my head
