"Melancholy Girl Of The Hour" lyrics

They got caught up in a conversation
Lost in another dimension
It was lunch time at a trade convention
Both with and without complications

The melancholy girl of the hour
The boy without money or power

It happens to you now and then
All you thought was lost coming 'round again

It happens to you now and then
All you thought was lost coming 'round again

Coming 'round
Coming 'round again

Hearts beating in syncopation
And occasional misunderstandings
He was young and prone to exaggeration
She didn't care not every joke of his was landing

The melancholy girl of the hour
The boy without money or power

It happens to you now and then
All you thought was lost coming 'round again

It happens to you now and then
All you thought was lost coming 'round
Coming 'round
Coming 'round again
Coming 'round again

Her gentle teasing made him blush
It reminded her of her first crush
She heard the tinkle of a spoon in a glass
She felt the bliss and the innocent rush

The melancholy girl of the hour
The boy without money or power

It happens to you now and then
All you thought was lost coming 'round again

It happens to you now and then
All you thought was lost coming 'round
Coming 'round
Coming 'round again
Coming 'round again

'Round again
'Round again
Coming 'round again

'Round again
'Round again
Coming 'round again

He collected the bill, she paid it
Then made it home before the afternoon had faded
Glad for the kids and the life she created
Somehow he knew they would never forget it

The melancholy girl of the hour
The boy without money or power

It happens to you now and then
All you thought was lost coming 'round again

It happens to you now and then
All you thought was lost coming 'round
Coming 'round
Coming 'round again
Coming 'round again
