There's longing in the sea
all the tears of history

right by men who haunt the streets
lonely souls with swollen feet

all who had loved her
in one form or another

what you see would be your future
all of them once whispered to her

when the world was wonderful
when their hearts where strong and full

like the young and mindless faces
that still dream of foreign places

or the sailor coming home
dreaming of his very own
with her picture in a locket
and desire in his pocket

or a virgin having her first kiss
and thinking it'll always feel like this

baby sitters fake bright blooms
making love in strange bedrooms

or young lovers saying goodbyes
staying up to watch the sunrise

wedding vows and motel rooms
holy bows and wistful moons

boys and girls in leather
vowed in blood that they'll always stay together

girls in black and green plaid jumpers
making love to bible thumpers

or your sweetheart there beside you
like she used to be

now these days of love have ended
and the darkness has descended

in the cold you see her breath
its all that's left in this emptiness

half of you is feeling sad
half of you is going mad

she doesn't love you
she doesn't love you
she doesn’t want you
anymore
