Melancholy Blues lyrics

I used to think your teeth were just white curtains Acts of optimism just to hide I confused bitterness for enlightenment I'll admit that I'm still not satisfied At least now I've seen Now I see You were only trying to light a candle But I stood on the shore and cursed the night Slowly unraveling a time when I needed melancholy blues to keep going Ooh, ooh Yesterday you told me that you loved me I wanted to ask if you knew what that means My eyes have crossed feet and no less, as they've seen It's the prison box of what appears free At least now I see Now I see You were only trying to light a candle But I stood on the shore and cursed the night Slowly unraveling a time when I needed melancholy blues to keep going
