lyrics

there’s a Melody in Nashville
and she dances at the Legion Hall
I don’t dance, but maybe I will
though if I start I fear I’ll fall
for the Melody in Nashville
though I only know her name
damn me for thinking about her still
and how she keeps on dancing away
but can it be this waiting for the real thing
that’s just the thing which leaves me here alone
I’m waiting here in the corner girl hoping you find me
but I won’t disturb you dancing Melody
there’s a sad flag made of string-lights
an empty star out on the floor
some old Vets with new wives
and some just with stories from the war
and she listens to them all night and bums a cigarette or two
goes back out dancing neath the string-lights
from red to white to blue
but can it be this dark place I’ve chosen
that’s just the thing that makes me hard to find
I’m waiting here in the corner girl hoping you find me
but I won’t disturb you dancing Melody
no I won’t disturb you dancing Melody
but here’s one that you can dance to
down in Nashville, Tennessee
