I'd swim to New York State From the Cornish coast of England For even just a day We'll meet at that café You'll say it hurt too much to stay And so you left the Cornish coast of England And a love who was not ready for this To dive with you to where the sea-maids live I'll say that is when I (I had to face) Life just wasn't the same (and how you gave and you gave) I'll ask, "Will you come back?" To the Cornish coast of England There's a rock pool we can dive in And that now I understand You gave everything (you gave the love) You made the difference you gave (you gave the love) You gave everything (you gave the love) While I was looking away (you gave and you gave) (And you gave and you gave) (And you gave and you gave) Selfless without blame Your triumph abandoned in the rain And you gave and you gave And you gave and you gave And you gave and then still you gave I'd swim from New York State To the Cornish coast of England I found a cave we can dive in If only for the day If only for the day
