In Monotone

All throughout the night

The world was all alight

It was as if the stars had fallen down

And taken flight

You and I would be

I made this guarantee

You think those words have lost their meaning now

I disagree

Stand on our headstone

Though features all are worn

You'll see the dates go on and on and on

In monotone

You'll see the dates go on and on and on

In monotone

Afternoons on telephones

And late night walks by light of moons

Is this so hard to understand?

Or have you just decided to be cruel?

Ridiculing all the fools and

Bending, breaking all the rules

Well, I refuse to let it go

So watch me now as I untie this rope

This is melancholy, dear

Melancholy, dear

Melancholy, dear
