All
In one day
The planet turned around
Turned around
So
Much has changed
Now you're upside down
Upside down
The moon
Faintly glowing now
The sun
Worlds away

Sad child
Go on cry
That melancholy ghost is haunting your heart
Sad child
Go on cry
That melancholy ghost
Is haunting your young heart

Tears
On your face
Ever so softly burn
Softly burn
Love
Is so unfair
Every mortal learns
We all learn
The earth
Feels so cold tonight
The sky
Seems so dark

Sad child
Go on cry
That melancholy ghost is haunting your heart
Sad child
Go on cry
That melancholy ghost
Is haunting your young heart

Tonight you hear those chains rattling
in the dungeon
Banshees wailing
Warning of impending doom
Honey it's true, the mornin's comin' soon

Just
Yesterday
Your laughter filled the room
Filled the room
Life
Is known to play
Unfunny tricks on you
Tricks on you
The stars
Danced into your dreams
Then vanished
Before your eyes

Sad child
Go on cry
That melancholy ghost is haunting your heart
Sad child
Go on cry
That melancholy ghost
Is haunting your young heart
