When I look back I see it clearly The day I first saw you on your father's arm But I am a poor man and not nearly Fit for the daughter of the richest man in town But we had our love, we had each other With need of no blessing in our hearts So we'll run away now to the ocean Setting our sails straight by the stars So we sit here in the bow lines As the light begins to fade Singing songs about tomorrow Singing songs of yesterday If I gave you all my sorrows Would you carry them away? My love So out on the high seas we live freely Beyond the horizon a fresh start We'll build a new life here and ideally Be ever together, not apart So we sit here in the bow lines As the light begins to fade Singing songs about tomorrow Singing songs of yesterday If I gave you all my sorrows Would you carry them away? My love, my love, my love Now here on our island, life is dreary With only each other and our flaws The sight of your face now makes me weary If only you'd left me where I was So we sit here in the bow lines As the light begins to fade Singing songs about tomorrow Singing songs of yesterday If I gave you all my sorrows Would you carry them away? My love, my love, my love, my love So we sit here in the bow lines As the light begins to fade Singing songs about tomorrow Singing songs of yesterday If I gave you all my sorrows Would you carry them away? My love, my love, my love, my love, my love

Bring back the past, grip it so tight Don't let it out of your sight Standing so proud, head in the sky One thing's the sunset don't lie My copper-toned tongue tastes not quite right What have I become? That silver-edged sword, it slices through The orange steel moon Oh, getting my life back from you Oh, getting my life back from you Jet-streams of dreams, powered by love Watch them up above Poisoned by grief, wiser than most It's just the looks that you boast My copper-toned tongue tastes not quite right What have I become? That silver-edged sword, it slices through The orange steel moon Oh, getting my life back from you Oh, getting my life back from you Oh, getting my life back from you Oh, getting my life back from you Oh, getting my life back from you Oh, getting my life back from you
