I've been building a picture of how it all could be
I'm sitting right beside you but the picture's all I see
In a cycle of dramas and played out one-night stands
I reached for you and hoped you'd take my hand
The melody escaped me, I must have heard it wrong
The tune seemes so familiar
Now suddenly it's gone
Somehow I'll find my lover
and then I will be sure
I must have been a fool to believe I'd have it all
But the melody escaped me
Fate scorns the lover, the fevered thought is lost
You lose the ground beneath you and discover to your cost
that midsummer madness, you bathe in its' sweet rain
To find you're only going round again
The melody escaped me, I must have heard it wrong
The tune seemes so familiar
Now suddenly it's gone
Somehow I'll find my lover
and then I will be sure
I must have been a fool to believe I'd have it all
But the melody escaped me
You're beautiful, no-one will ever tell me no
So beautiful, no-one will ever tell me
As we pull our bodies from the dust
Who knows who to love and who to trust
Nothing stays the same, it's flowing endlessly
But for a moment I thought I heard the perfect melody
The melody escaped me, I must have heard it wrong
The tune seemes so familiar
Now suddenly it's gone
Somehow I'll find my lover
and then I will be sure
I must have been a fool to believe I'd have it all
I must have been a fool to believe I'd take it all
I must have been a fool to believe I'd know at all
But the melody escaped me.
The second EP from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Bea Stewart runs from gentle folk to pillowy pop ballads, all perfectly executed. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 15, 2024
