The Ship Of The Seasick Sailor - ABC

Running to the empty spaces

Of a love that we once shared

In between the lipstick traces

To a time that we once had

You mistook me for a man, that I once knew

You caught me unprepared

That’s why on the tide of an ocean of failure

An ocean of love in my heart

Bring me the ship of the seasick sailor

Bring me the keys of the sleeping jailor

Bring me the guns of the war torn soldier

Bury the flag slung over his shoulder

Maybe you could love me again

Maybe you could love me again

Then and only then

Because it hurts to be your friend

I’ve been to all the lonely places

We fought once to defend

I’d hate to be your enemy

Because it hurts to be your friend

You mistook me for a man, that I once knew

You caught me unprepared

That’s why on the tide of an ocean of failure

An ocean of love in my heart

Bring me the ship of the seasick sailor

Bring me the keys of the sleeping jailor

Bring me the guns of the war torn soldier

Bury the flag slung over his shoulder

Maybe you could love me again

Maybe you could love me again

Then and only then

Because it hurts to be your friend

The sea is calm

The door is locked

We’re safe from harm

The ship is docked

The battle’s over

The war is won

Screen fades to black

In a setting sun

Bring me the ship of the seasick sailor

Bring me the keys of the sleeping jailor

Bring me the guns of the war torn soldier

Bury the flag slung over his shoulder

Maybe you could love me again (All I can do is … Love)

Maybe you could love me again (All I can do is … Love)

Then and only then

Because it hurts to be your friend
