My Sweet Melancholy
(Mark Barker/Thomm Jutz)

My sweet melancholy
Once more it’s down to you and me
There is no one to agree
My sweet melancholy 

The blues can chase the blues away
But the blues will always stay
We’re living in a minor key
Will you ever let me be
My sweet melancholy 

1st Chorus:

The steady rhythm of the rain
Was always calling out my name
I’ll never know why you chose me
My sweet melancholy 

2nd Chorus:

You’re like a sad old song
You just won’t me leave alone
I’m caught up in your melody
My sweet melancholy 

You’re a blessing and a curse
And for better or for worse
I’ll always wear you on my sleeve
You’re the perfect mystery
My sweet melancholy
