Lyrics
[Verse 1]
What does this ship bring to me
Far across the restless sea?
Waiting for the siren's call
I've never seen it here before
[Verse 2]
There she plies a lonely trade
Cutting through the breaking waves
Drifting slowly from her course
She is lost forevermore
[Verse 3]
We all want some kind of love
But sometimes it's not enough
To the wall and through the door
With a stranger on the shore
[Verse 4]
I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all away
[Verse 5]
I've got it all wrong
'Cause you were not the wrong one
And I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone
[Verse 6]
Gotta catch the midnight train
First to Paris then to Spain
Travel with a document
All across the continent
[Verse 7]
City life is flyin' by
The wheels are turning all the while
Get on board, we can't be late
Our destination cannot wait
[Verse 8]
All the stars and all the worlds
Filing up this universe
Could never be as close as us
Will never shine as bright on us
[Verse 9]
I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all away
[Verse 10]
I've got it all wrong
'Cause you were not the wrong one
And I don't know where to turn when you're gone
When you're gone
[Verse 11]
I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all away
[Verse 12]
I've got it all wrong
'Cause you were not the wrong one
And I don't know where to turn when you're gone
[Verse 13]
How many times must I lose my way? Hey
How many words do I have to say? Hey
What can I do just to make you see
That you're so good for a man like, a man like me?
