Deep Within the Corners of My Mind
Gardot Melody Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deep within the corners of my mind
I keep a memory of your faces
And I only pull it out when I long for your embrace

Deep within the corners of my mind
I'm haunted by your smile
As it promises me joys like a journey to a tropic isle
It's not hard to see what you do to me
It's like a page right out of fist time wave
Though I try to fight it all the word you write
Leave me standing in the starry robe in some tragic lovers place

But deep within the corners of my mind
I'm praying secretly that eventually in time
There'll be a place for you and me

That eventually in time
There'll be a place for you and me

There'll be a place for you and me





Deep within the corners of my mind

"Deep Within The Corners Of My Mind"


Deep within the corners of my mind
I keep a memory of your face
And I only pull it out when I long for your embrace

Deep within the corners of my mind
I'm haunted by your smile
As it promises me joy like a journey to a tropic isle, oh

It's not hard to see what you do to me
It's like a page right out of Ernest Hemingway
Though I try to fight all the words you write
Leave me standing in the starring role in some tragic lover's play

But deep within the corners of my mind
I'm praying secretly that eventually in time
There'll be a place for you and me

That eventually in time
There'll be a place for you and me

There'll be a place for you and me
Deep within the corners of my mind

Thank you, Stefanie! I love everything Melody does --but like you, I find this song especially moving and gorgeous. That she wrote all of her songs while recovering from such a terrible accident - and being so young at the time, slays me, as does everything about this song. SO nice to get the lyrics accurately. Appreciated!

je l'adore cette chanteuse et Eric m'a invité à son concert en avril pour me reconquérir... merci mi amor... c'était une soirée magique...

ElizabethGS

Absolutement!
