I'll Take a Melody Lyrics

I've seen the rain pouring down
The sky was grey with a speck of blue
Peek through a hole in the clouds
The sun was screaming, "hey you"
As you ramble through your sorrow
Seems like everything come out wrong
I'm living in yesterday's tomorrows
I know something's helping me along

Chorus
I'll take a melody and see
What I can do about it
I'll take a simple C to G
And feel brand new about it

I understand why the old fisherman
Sail alone, sail alone, sail alone
(Sail alone, sail alone)
Someday he'll be gone
I hear you talking 'bout your troubles
Everybody's got their troubles too
You can make them burst like bubbles
If you know just what to do

You know I've been called a dreamer
Dreams that never will come true
But I've been called so many things before
Tell you what I'm gonna do

[chorus]
I understand why the old fisherman
Sail alone, sail alone, sail alone
(Sail alone, sail alone)
Someday he'll be gone

[chorus]

Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining

Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining
Shine on, keep on shining

[etc]
