lyrics

Standing in the firing line playing songs to people who are talking so loud
She turns to take a sip of bee, helps her fight the fear so she can our her soul out
Moisture on the microphone, sweat upon her hands and tears in her eyes
Protected by the armour of a smile that’s forced she soldiers on, she’ll survive

The through the mist of conversations, breaking glass and altercations she sees him
Sitting quiet in the corner, transfixed by this tender troubadour
She keeps on strumming her guitar, hoping that her repertoire will please him
Delivers every line with passion, wants her words to touch him to the core

She sings a melody in the key of he
She can tell he’s listening – hangs on every note she sings
Melody in the key of he
Is getting underneath her skin, she could fall in love with him

She pauses for a moment and waits for some applause, but they’re all preoccupied
Excepting for the man who with a smile claps his hands and makes her feel justified
And with a renewed purpose she starts to sing again and she is walking cloud nine
She thinks she’s scratched the surface of this lonely soul who’s nearly finished his wine

And now her eyes are closed and she is lost inside the ballad she is singing
To the gentle stranger in who’s presence she no longer feels bereft
Suddenly she looks up and the bar is nearly empty, doors are swinging
Her soul mate in the audience and all her hopes of being loved have left

She sang a melody in the key of he
She thought he was listening – hangs on every note she sings
Melody in the key of he
Was getting underneath her skin, she could fall in love with him

Standing in the firing line playing songs to people who are talking so loud
