Lyrics

I'm a melancholy man

That's what I am

All the world surrounds me and my feet are on the ground

I'm a very lonely man

Doing what I can

All the world astounds me and I think I understand

That we're going to keep growing

Wait and see

When all the stars are falling down

Into the sea and on the ground

And angry voices carry on the wind

A beam of light will fill your head

And you'll remember what's been said

By all the good men this world's ever known

Another man is what you'll see

Who looks like you and looks like me

And yet, somehow he will not feel the same

His life caught up in misery

He doesn't think like you and me

'Cause he can't see what you and I can see

When all the stars are falling down

Into the sea and on the ground

And angry voices carry on the wind

A beam of light will fill your head

And you'll remember what's been said

By all the good men this world's ever known

Another man is what you'll see

Who looks like you and looks like me

And yet, somehow he will not feel the same

His life caught up in misery

He doesn't think like you and me

'Cause he can't see what you and I can see

I'm a melancholy man

That's what I am

All the world surrounds me and my feet are on the ground

I'm a very lonely man

Doing what I can

All the world astounds me and I think I understand

That we're going to keep growing

Wait and see

I'm a melancholy man

That's what I am

All the world surrounds me

I'm a very lonely man

Doing what I can

All the world astounds me and I think I understand

That we're going to keep growing

Just you wait and see

Oh, believe me, believe me, believe me

I'm a melancholy man
