Iris DeMent - Sweet Is The Melody текст песни

Sweet is the melody, so hard to come by
It's so hard to make every note bend just right
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace,
But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place

Well, the dance floor's for gliding and not jumping over ponies
Where boots and gold bracelets come and meet as they should
It's for celebrating a Friday night romance:
Forgetting the bad stuff and just feeling good

Oh, sweet is the melody, so hard to come by
It's so hard to make every note bend just right
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace,
But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place

Oh, an arm's just an arm 'til it's wrapped 'round a shoulder;
Looped side by side they go stepping out together
A note's just a note 'til you wake from your slumber,
And dare to discover the new melody

Oh, sweet is the melody, so hard to come by
It's so hard to make every note bend just right
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace,
But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place

Instrumental break

Oh, sweet is the melody, so hard to come by
It's so hard to make every note bend just right
You lay down the hours and leave not one trace,
But a tune for the dancing is there in it's place

Ooh, ooh
Ooh ooh
