Jane Birkin

Strange Melody

Jane Birkin


As she lay beside the young man, for a moment 
She'd forgotten, who she'd become 
And paths he 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 everyday 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 tide around her 
Why will they say 
But everyone is lonely 
And inside 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
