Melancholy Man Lyrics - A Question Of Balance - Moody Blues

I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am, 

All the world surrounds me, and my feet are on the ground. 

I'm a very lonely man, doing what I can, 

All the world astounds me and I think I understand 

That we're going to keep growing, wait and see. 

When all the stars are falling down 

Into the sea and on the ground, 

And angry voices carry on the wind, 

A beam of light will fill your head 

And you'll remember what's been said 

By all the good men this world's ever known. 

Another man is what you'll see, 

Who looks like you and looks like me, 

And yet somehow he will not feel the same, 

His life caught up in misery, 

he doesn't think like you and me, 

'Cause he can't see what you and I can see.

Into the sea and on the ground, 

And angry voices carry on the wind, 

A beam of light will fill your head 

And you'll remember what's been said 

By all the good men this world's ever known. 

Another man is what you'll see, 

Who looks like you and looks like me, 

And yet somehow he will not feel the same, 

His life caught up in misery, 

(Melancholy man) he doesn't think like you and me, 

(Very lonely man) 'Cause he can't see what you and I can see.

I'm a melancholy man, 

(When all the stars are falling down) 

that's what I am 

(Into the sea and on the ground,) 

All the world surrounds me 

(And angry voices carry on the wind,) 

and my feet are on the ground 

I'm a very lonely man, 

(A beam of light will fill your head) 

doing what I can 

(And you'll remember what's been said) 

All the world astounds me 

(By all the good men this world's ever known.) 

and I think I understand 

That we're going to keep growing, wait and see.

(Who looks like you and looks like me,) 

Just you wait and see 

(And yet somehow he will not feel the same,) 

Oh, believe me, believe me, believe me!

I'm a melancholy man...
