Melancholia Lyrics by Van Morrison

Days Like This

1995

[Verse 1]
In the afternoon, baby in my room
When the lights are dim way beyond the hill
In the afternoon, baby in my room
When I'm really down get me off the ground

[Refrain]
Melancholia, melancholia (Melancholia)

[Verse 2]
In the morning time when I go outside
In the morning time it's like that all the while
In the afternoon when I'm in my room
Every single day, it won't go away

[Refrain]
Melancholia, melancholia (Melancholia)

[Verse 3]
And it's in my heart, when we're apart
And it stops and starts, and it's in my heart
Every single day it's always in my way
When I'm making hay, all I've got to say

[Refrain]
Melancholia, melancholia (Melancholia)

[Verse 4]
Well, it's in my blood and it's in my veins
Here it comes again when I'm in the rain
In the wind and rain, well, the sun don't shine
Well it's always mine all of the time

[Refrain]
Melancholia, melancholia (Melancholia)

[Verse 5]
And it's in my life and it's all the time
It doesn't go away when the church bells chime
In the evening time when I drink my wine
In the evening time when it's on my mind

[Refrain]
Melancholia, melancholia (Melancholia)

[Outro]
It's only melancholia
Oh melancholia, oh melancholia, oh melancholia
Oh melancholia, melancholia, melancholia
They call it, call it melancholia, call it melancholia
Call it melancholia, call it melancholia (Melancholia)
Call it melancholia, melancholia, melancholia, melancholia (Melancholia)
(Melancholia, melancholia)
