At the Mercy of a Melody Video (MV)

I see you
On the sidewalk
At nighttime
In the rain

Hair dripping
Head tilted
Twenty stories
Where the yellow crane

Is up top
And a man in a box
Reaches for a black cat
Trapped on the windowpane

Then you continue
Into the anxious crowd
Behind a blue barricade

They have an electric feel
People conduct when simultaneously
Excited and afraid

There are rumors of lightening
And people debating how much
The crane savior gets paid

And to think
I'd been so alone
Scrounging hope
From a screen
On my cell phone

Walking with an orchestra
In my head
Passing another human being
Making their cardboard bed

What good did a song ever do?
What color is your love?
Mine's a shade of blue

You see me
Under the marquee
At noontime
In the heat

Another Adam
Outside the garden
Where we said
We'd one day meet

For your sellout
Including me
Occupying a front-row
Seat

We prayed for one thing
Meant to be
But so many girls
Can melodize a beat

You trusted me
I said sign the papers
They wanted our songs
And we came along cheap

Our lives entwined
The night that cat survived
But now you don't even wave
From across the street

Vicki do you still live
At the mercy of a melody?
Do you tell yourself?
Your world inside is
Enough company

Do you travel light?
And maintain a low overhead
When your world feels empty
Do you bring your guitar to bed?
