lyrics

Melissa tried to move a mountain
but the mountain moved for her
Melissa sang inside her mountain
She sang alone but no-one heard

She sang 'til the sun closed her eyes
and when the day was done, in the moonlight she was baptised.

She did things to you you'll never know
Far away from all you'll ever cling to
The birds around the tree call their name, in a different language
All the things you do will come to nothing,
until you open up and sing.
The moonlight sky we paint with eyes will be a memory
in Melissa's mind

Melissa loved the noisy city
Lights playing on her hair
The music she heard was real pretty
Metallic romance and smoke in the air

and when the City sleeps, the silence creeps into your veins
Oh, the moon hides 'til you open your window pane

She did things to you you'll never know
Far away from all you'll ever cling to
The birds around the tree call their name, in a different language
All the things you do will come to nothing,
until you open up and sing.
The moonlight sky we paint with eyes will be a memory
in Melissa's mind
in Melissa's mind
In Melissa's mine mine mind
In Melissa's mind
