To be running so far away
   To rely on the perfect stranger
   True colours they suffer with age
   One look at the storm and fly straight on in
   To the rain and thunder
   Fool lover swept under the tide
   The storm was gathering around them
   He cast her off and put to sea
   Well, he'd found somebody new to steer him
   Through his dream
  
   She sailed him all around her coastline
   Every inlet every bay
   And though he knew it then
   He was too afraid to say it
  
   One day all alone he waited
   The silence crept beneath his door
   And as the room grew dark he knew
   She's come no more
  
   Drifting in the dead of night
   Show me landfall give me light
