I saw you hang your head once or twice
But I never saw you break
Until she looked into your eyes that summer night
And she could not recall your name
It pulled you down
But you worked it out
On the black keys
With old, sweet melodies
When it pulled you down
You'd pound it out
On the black keys
With old, sweet melodies
Long lost melodies
You saw me hang my head in the night
But you wouldn't let me break
All those Sunday evenings by your side
I knew you loved me just the same
I'm feeling down
I hear the sound
Of the black keys
Those old, sweet melodies
Those long-lost melodies
Woke up this morning with you on my mind
So close I hear you in my ear
Something brought you back to me
I'd recognize that voice anywhere
When I'm feeling down
I work it out
On the steel strings
With old, sweet melodies
It pulls me out
I shout it out
Over steel strings
With newfound melodies
And long lost melodies
In your memory
