Watching the boats slip away As I raise my hands above my head Struggling against the waves Even the seagulls have left me for dead No one on the deck saw me fall Just another man slipping into the night The party still rages on board No one on the deck is even noticed I'm gone at all Oh darling Send out the search party Send the boat back for me This is not how it ends Oh darling Oh can't you hear me sing Come on do anything This is not how it ends Watching the boats slip away It's difficult to maintain your poise As you struggle to make yourself heard Above the engines noise No one on the deck saw me fall Just another man slipping into the night The clink of the glasses on board No one on the deck even noticed I'm gone at all Oh darling Send out the search party Send the boat back for me This is not how it ends Oh darling Oh can you hear me sing Come on do anything This is not how it ends (Oh, I know he is all I want to know)
