Melancholy man

Some people say that I'm a melancholy man 
When all is said and done 
It's just the way I am 
The sun is blazing as I wander into town 
A long grey overcoat which trails along the ground 
And when I'm walking past the children in the park 
They stop their games, they shout my name 
And run behind my back
If only they could see how happy I can be 
But sometimes they must look away 
Or so it seems to me I think
I'll always be a melancholy man 
I know when all is said and done
It's just the way I am 
But if you have the time 
Please listen while you can 
Does anybody understand? 
I'll always be a melancholy man 
The sky is blue today 
Here in your nowhere land 
And how are you today, my melancholy man? 
You saw us looking through a window of a bus 
We smiled at you but you didn't smile at us 
And when you're old and grey 
Your days are at an end 
You'll wish that you had somone who 
You couls call a friend 
Yet only I can see how happy you can be 
Oh sometimes they must look away 
Or so it seems to me
I think I'll always be a melancholy man 
I know when all is said and done
It's just the way I am 
But if you have the time 
Please listen while you can
Does anybody understand?
I'll always be a melancholy man 
When all is said and done, my melancholy man 
The sky is blue today, my melancholy man 
And when no hope was left in sight 
On that starry starry night 
You took your life as lovers often do 
But I could have told you, Vincent 
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
As beautiful as you, my melancholy man
