We could almost see the distant shore When my little sweetheart jumped overboard I threw a line blind into the sea But she was free To drift on The sea is calm The night after the strom But i know the empty rain awaits at every turn I fear i had a love And now it's gone To find new shelter Now i'm building ships To carry me home Back to where i sailded from Back to the place i hurt The rhythm of the rocking is unknown It takes awhile to et used to the motion I'm moving slowly but i'm full of anger That there's no one to blame It's a cruel game Now i'm building ships To carry me home Back to where i sailded from Back to the place i hurt I fear i had a love And now it's gone To find new shelter
