Melancholy lullaby
Flying from a trouble sky
Ringing through the clinging vine
Right into this heart of mine

Melancholy lullaby
Listen, listen, listen to the nightwind sigh
How can I expect to sleep
When I lay me down to weep

Your love has cooled
From flame, flame to ice
And I've been fooled
Into a fool's paradise, hear, hear, hear

Hear the rhythm of the rain
Beating on my window pane
Wish that I could say goodbye
To my melancholy lullaby

Your love has cooled
From flame, flame to ice
And I've been fooled, fooled
Into a fool's paradise, hear, hear, hear

Hear the rhythm of the rain
Beating on my window pane
Wish that I could say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
To my melancholy lullaby
Melancholy lullaby
