lyrics

There's a melody hanging softly
But far away
I had to strain my ear just to hear it
So I followed it down the road
And on down the highway
Stopping wherever the sound seemed to make sense

In a park in Minnesota
At a desk in Illinois
On a hike in Indiana
I heard a lovely noise
It was a wonderful distraction
But distraction all the same
On the path to where it sings
I shall remain

It seems that I've been singing along to wrong songs
I don't know if you've heard
But I'm learning the words to the right one now

In the morning when you wake up
When you read aloud in bed
When your hands lift up another
I hear it best
Such a delicate position
That I get so confused sometimes
But to the study of your sound
I am resigned

It seems that I've been singing along to wrong songs
I don't know if you've heard
But I'm learning the words to the right one now
