As she lay beside the young man For a moment, she'd forgotten who she'd become And paths she 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 every day 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's tide around her, why will they say? But everyone is lonely And inside they say 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
