As she lay beside the young man
For a moment, she'd forgotten who she'd become
And paths she dreamed to follow reminded her
Of sorrows once had won

And all the words he told her
The colours, how they showed her all that she'd lost
And every day the same day revolving in the same way
How it broke her heart

But no one else can hear
No one else can save her now
So quietly, life's strange melody won't be heard

She walks into the water with tired linen shawl
Oh, I wonder why
And as the waves unfolding
Like the voices never knowing inside her head

But as her thoughts surround her
Like the ocean's tide around her, why will they say?
But everyone is lonely
And inside they say if only so silently

But no one else can hear
No one else can save her now
So quietly, life's strange melody won't be heard

But no one else can hear
No one else can save her now
So quietly, life's strange melody won't be heard
But no one else can hear
No one else can save her now
So quietly, life's strange melody won't be heard
