For a long time now I've wanted to say Something to lighten your load Brighten your day But there aren't the words For the colours I see The patterns they change Won't stay the same And somehow my view Is always in view Of melancholia hues At dusk And at dawn Moments to wonder But somehow to mourn These moments they passed To never return Melt into nostalgia As my memory yearns For each pound of joy There's an ounce of regret If the sun rises You know it will set So I'm taking it down To tuck it away Saving some sunshine For my rainy day And I'm trying to find That silverline That runs through the cloud That collect in my sky
