"For Melanie" lyrics - MATTHEWS' SOUTHERN COMFORT

Clouded sky up above my head
Is turning red below me
Point my weapon against the fog
And hope to God they don't know me
Many different people
Do the thing they say they do
I have always been with you
Whenever I can I do love mine too

Your mother sees that you have the best
Thinks all the rest will follow
Your father sees that you have his job
The life he lives must be hollow
Thinks money gets you somewhere
When it does, remember me
I'm the one who'll always be
Whenever you need a friend, just lean on me

I can't take you in
I can't tell you when that will be
I can't take you in
No I can't tell you when that will be

You know my faith is shattered
You can do, you can live
Just a smile is all you give
Whenever you're down, you'll win
That's what life is

Clouded sky up above my head
Is turning red below me
I point my weapon against the fog
And I hope to God they don't know me
Many different people
Do the thing they say they do
I have always been with you
Whenever I can I do love mine too

I can't take you in
No, I can't tell you when that will be
Well I can't take you in
And I can't tell you when that will be

I can't take you in
No, I can't tell you when that will be
I can't take you in
And I can't tell you when that will be
