I might be asleep in the mine this time
The words of my old man echo like a wind chime
But I believe honestly she's a diamond in the deep
Why do I dig in the dust
But never come up
With sweet Melanie
Melanie
Come to me cover me
With your fiery dreams
Harmony hardly needs
More than sunlight and seed
In the breeze with sweet Melanie
You say you're unseen - like the lone pine on the hillside
Who dreams of being free but your roots keep you tied
But I believe honestly you're the loveliest tree
When will my song cross the bridge
To your home on the ridge
Oh sweet Melanie
Melanie
Come to me cover me
With your fiery dreams
Harmony hardly needs
More than evergreen
In the breeze with sweet Melanie
