All the melancholy on the wind Low as a prayer spoken You feel it blowing through you Everywhere your heart is broken Haunts you like a shadow when You're walking through the city on you own All the ghosts who holler in the night Will try to make you lonely And when in desperation Someone says that you're the only one they want You'll go to sleep beside them But you'll wake up all alone Isn't it all you ever wanted to be known? Remember when you thought Somebody else was waiting for you And all the emptiness would end if only they'd adore you How you had a child's way of dreaming Don't you miss it now you've grown And isn't it all you ever wanted to be known? All the melancholy on the wind You feel it shuffle through ya How it breaks you open Til you're singing hallelujah Never know the gravity of grace Until it hits you like a stone Isn't it all you ever wanted to be known? Hallelujah Isn't it all you ever wanted to be known?
