[Intro]
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
[Verse 1]
See the melancholy man
Happiness is in his hand
Doesn't really understand
Lets it slip away like sand
Everything within his grasp
Trying to let go the past
If only he could see
Only he can set him free
[Chorus]
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
[Verse 2]
Trapped in his tired body
Never listens to his soul
When it's flooding like a river
And crying like the wind
Wasted years of solitude
In a prison of bones and skin
If only he could open his eyes
He'd see the kingdom within
[Chorus]
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Melancholy man
Happiness is in his hands
Doesn't really understand
His destiny's at his command
Fates run through his hands like sand
Stranger in a strange land
Shed a little tear
Please embrace your fears
[Chorus]
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
Melancholy man
[Instrumental Outro]
