Melancholy Child - Pam Tillis[00:00:00]

A baby with a baby[00:00:16]

Just barely seventeen[00:00:18]

My mother mourned her innocence[00:00:20]

As she bounced on her knee[00:00:22]

A daddy on the road[00:00:24]

Added to the tears and trials[00:00:25]

Like silver rain they fell upon this melancholy child[00:00:29]

The sounds of my childhood still linger in my song[00:00:37]

My mother's lullaby[00:00:41]

That train that rain behind our home[00:00:42]

A whippoorwill on a windowsill[00:00:45]

It should have made me smile[00:00:47]

But everything sounds lonely to a melancholy child[00:00:50]

Now a restless blood runs in our family[00:00:59]

I thought I could outrun the emptiness inside of me[00:01:03]

So I went a little crazy and I went a little wild[00:01:09]

Trying to outdistance my own melancholy child[00:01:13]

I met a kind and gentle man[00:01:32]

Who thinks the world of me[00:01:34]

When he looks my way[00:01:36]

It's a woman that he sees[00:01:38]

But when I can't explain to him[00:01:40]

The tears that fill my eyes[00:01:42]

He takes me in his arms[00:01:45]

And rocks his melancholy child[00:01:46]

You take a black Irish temper[00:01:49]

And some solemn Cherokee[00:01:51]

A Southern sense of humor[00:01:54]

And you got someone like me[00:01:55]

There are thorns on every rose[00:02:00]

To this I'm reconciled[00:02:01]

They're just a little sharper to a melancholy child[00:02:04]

And in my own babe's eyes[00:02:09]

I see the signs of a melancholy child[00:02:13]

Heaven help us all another melancholy child[00:02:29]
