Strange Melody Songtext
von Jane Birkin

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
