I'll Take a Melody

I understand why the old fishermen
And feel brand new about it
Shine on, keep on shining
If you know just what to do
Sail along, sail along, sail along
I know something's helping me along

Seem like everything come out wrong
Sail along, sail along, sail along
Peek through a hole in the clouds
I hear you talking about your troubles

I'll take a simple C to G
And see what I can do about it
And feel brand new about it
Shine on, keep on shining
And see what I can do about it
You know I've been called a dreamer

Sail along, sail along
Shine on, keep on shining
Tell you what I'm gonna do

I'm living in yesterdays tomorrows
And see what I can do about it
I'll take a melody
I understand why the old fishermen
I'll take a melody
But I've been called so many things before
Everybody's got their troubles too
Someday he'll be gone

I'll take a simple C to G
Sail along, sail along
I'll take a melody
You can make them burst like bubbles

Someday he'll be gone
The sun was screaming, "Hey, you!"
I'll take a simple C to G
As you ramble through your sorrow

And feel brand new about it
Dreams that never come true
