A Distant Melody - Wouter Hamel

A gloomy sky above me

A puddle on the ground

But something’s gotta change

'cause there’s no sunshine to be found

My vision is obscured

By these endless murky clouds

But something’s gotta change right now

I can hear a faraway sound

I can hear a distant melody

Oh how it clings to me

On this lovely summer night

My ears are captured by its harmony

It’s like a symphony

With a theme so pure and light

A churchbell rings

And that soulful trumpet

Sings of lovers lost and found

Listen closely you can hear it roar

A soothing swinging tune

With a melody in c

Can you hear that distant melody

Oh how it sends me reeling

Makes my heart take flight

My technicolour ragtime band joins in

Makes all my troubles vanish

Into the pitch — dark night

This upbeat tune’s

Got me flying to the moon

Sending shivers down my spine

A churchbell rings

And that soulful trumpet

Sings of lovers lost and found

Listen closely you can hear it roar

A soothing swinging tune

With a melody in c

Oh what a melody

Oh what a melody in c
