A Song That Never Comes

Listen to the emptiness 

Of the raindrops on the ground

Beating out a rhythm

To a tune that can't be found



Listen to my heart

A-pounding, longing for the time

When the melody of you returns

And once again, you're mine



But I'm waiting for a song that never comes

(Waiting for a song to come)

Lost without a melody

That I can never hear

Since you're gone



Look how sad the carousel

That turns with no one on

And all the dappled ponies

Long for children who are gone



Look into my mind

It spins, and then it goes nowhere

When first I think you're coming

Then I find that you're not there



But I'm waiting for a song that never comes

(Waiting for a song to come)

Lost without a melody

That I can never hear

Since you're gone



I'm waiting for a summer day

In the middle of the fall

Hoping that you're coming back

When I know you're never coming back at all



I'm waiting for a song that never comes

(Waiting for a song to come)

Yes, I'm waiting for a song that never comes

(Waiting for a song to come)

Well, I'm waiting for a song that never comes

(Waiting for a song to come)
