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

Revolving in the same way / How it broke her heart

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

But as her thoughts surround her / Like the ocean tide

around her / Why will they say / But everyone is lonely

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
