The Clientele - Haunted Melody lyrics

Basketballs bounce out of tune The streets are empty and the moon Has shone on Mrs. Parker And her daughter's soda water 'till they swoon Golden evenings pa** me by Beneath a dream of darker eyes And empty on a southbound train Through Battersea in glowing rain, I ride Oh, the music is so loud Enchanting all the faltering crowds To sing again their lonely melody My heart is yours and I love you You keep my mind as well And sometimes here when I touch you It's heaven and it's So the years have pa**ed me by The library's shelves refract the light And black and white will not make clear The seasons and the reasons and my fear
