A Song That Never Comes Lyrics By Mama Cass Elliot

    listen to the emptiness
    of the raindrops on the ground
    beating out a rhythm
    to a tune that can’t be found

    listen to my heart
    apounding longing for the time
    when the melody of you returns
    and once again you’re mine

    but i’m waiting for a song that never comes
    waiting for a song to come
    lost without a melody
    that i can never hear
    since you’re gone

    look how sad the carousel
    that turns with no one on
    and all the dappled ponies
    long for children who are gone

    look into my mind
    it spins and then it goes nowhere
    when first i think you’re coming
    then i find that you’re not there

    but i’m waiting for a song that never comes
    waiting for a song to come
    lost without a melody
    that i can never hear
    since you’re gone

    i’m waiting for a summer day
    in the middle of the fall
    hoping that you’re coming back
    when i know you’re never coming back at all

    i’m waiting for a song that never comes
    waiting for a song to come
    yes i’m waiting for a song that never comes
    waiting for a song to come
    well i’m waiting for a song that never comes
    waiting for a song to come
