Melancholy's Cure

Like a bird on the wing

She's a vision to behold

With a song that she sings

That you've never heard before

With a love that she brings

Your melancholy's cure

But you gave up your guns

Like the treaty of Versailles

Now you step to the drum

That's been beating out of time

Now your love's on the run

Your melancholy's cure

All night long

I could watch her go

Hear the love songs

On the radio

Like a bird on the wing

She's a vision to behold

With a song that she sings

That you've never heard before

With a love that she brings

Your melancholy's cure

But you gave up your guns

Like the treaty of Versailles

Now you step to the drum

That's been beating out of time

Now your love's on the run

Your melancholy's cure

Like a bird on the wing

She's a vision to behold

With a song that she sings

That you've never heard before

With a love that she brings

Your melancholy's cure

But you gave up your guns

Like the treaty of Versailles

Now you step to the drum

That's been beating out of time

Now your love's on the run

Your melancholy's cure
