Melissa

[Verse 1]
Soulful sweet sky blue jeans
A golden haired girl with romantic dreams
All alone inside her head she sleeps

The western scenes of the rodeo queens
Nights of isles on shining steeps
In a mind to quell the violent screams

[Chorus 1]
And the jig is up in this lonesome town
When the lights go out and we wander around
Until we find a way to disappear

And I'm stumbling and I take my seat
On a cemetery bench in the summer heat
We wait for the priest in the back as I whisper in you ear

Melissa, I listen
Melissa, we're gonna get away
Melissa, I listen
Melissa, together we'll find a way

[Verse 2]
Sunday school books and haunted nooks
Heavy eyed judgmental looks
All alone we go against the grain

We believe in God
We believe in faith
We believe in hope even when it rains
Never fit with the plans of empty pain

[Chorus 2]
And the jig is up in this lonesome town
When the lights go out and we wander around
Until we find a way to disappear

And I'm stumbling and I take my seat
On a cemetery bench in the summer heat
We wait for the priest in the back as I whisper in you ear

Melissa, I listen
Melissa, we're gonna get away
Melissa, I listen
Melissa, together we'll find a way
