In a Minor Key Songtext

von Tim Finn

I'm living in a minor key,
A melancholy mystery,
A quiet place where you and me,
Can be quite still.
Piano plays a minor chord,
And I'm reminded of the day,
When love game me her rich rewards,
Then took away my major woes,
I stumbled on such sweet repose,
In a minor key.

When two weary hearts,
Enter wide open spaces,
It's enough for a while just to smile,
But should love endure,
Then the smiles on their faces,
Turn to bitter tears,
Back to tears of joy.
I'm living in a minor key,
A bitter-sweet tranquility,
A place where nothing touches me,
Nor ever will.

A sad familiar melody,
Comes singing through the room to me,
Whenever I am by your side,
I'll take a ride down memory lane,
And face the truth I'm back again,
In a minor key.

Rain falls on the roof,
As we lie here together,
Laughing at the jokes,
Only you and I will ever understand,
Linger for a while,
In the pool of emotion,
Let the water rise,
Take your time and see,
You'll find it in a minor key.

I'm living in a minor key,
A melancholy mystery,
A quiet place where you and me,
Can be quite still.
Piano plays a minor chord,
And I'm reminded of the day,
When love game me her rich rewards,
Then took away my major woes,
I stumbled on such sweet repose
