Melancholy Mood

Melancholy mood forever haunts me
 Steals upon me in the night, forever taunts me
 Oh, what a lonely soul am I, stranded high and dry
 By a melancholy mood
 Gone is every joy and inspiration
 Tears are all I have to show, no consolation
 All I can see is grief and gloom, till the crack of doom
 Oh, melancholy mood
 Deep in the night I search for a trace
 Of a lingering kiss, a warm embrace
 But love is a whimsy, as flimsy as lace
 And my arms embrace an empty space
 Melancholy mood, why must you blind me
 Pity me and break the chains, the chains that bind me
 Won't you release me, set me free, bring him back to me
 Oh, melancholy mood
