Melancholy Sky Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Late into the night
Comes a glow like eyes
Numbers on my phone
I don't recognise

There in black and white
All your twisted thoughts

[Verse 2]
Brutal starry eyes
Stuck inside your head
Fallen from the sky
Risen from the dead
Views from all the past
Taken to new heights

[Chorus]
Melancholy sky
You made me blue
Still hanging on
There's nothing I can do
Not this time

[Verse 3]
There you are again
Calling from the hills
Haunted and the damned
From imagined worlds
It's too late, my friend
I don't love you anymore
[Chorus]
Melancholy sky
You made me blue
Still hanging on
There's nothing I can do

[Chorus]
Melancholy sky
Still hanging on
You're crazy now
I didn't do you wrong
Not this time

[Saxophone Solo]

[Chorus]
Melancholy sky
You made me blue
Still hanging on
There's nothing I can do

[Chorus]
Melancholy sky
Still hanging on
You're crazy now
I didn't do you wrong
Not this time

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
