What does this ship bring to me
Far across the restless sea?
Waiting for the sirens' call
I've never seen it here before

Then she plies a lonely trade
Cutting through the breaking waves
Drifting slowly from her course
She is lost forever more

We all want some kind of love
But sometimes it's not enough
To the wall and through the door
With a stranger on the shore

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all away

I've got it all wrong
'Cause you were not the wrong one
And I don't know where to turn
When you're gone, when you're gone

I gotta catch the midnight train
First to Paris then to Spain
Travel with a do***ent
All across the continent

City life is flying by
The wheels are turning all the while
Get on board you can't be late
Our destination cannot wait

All the stars and all the worlds
Filling up the universe
Could never be as close as us
Will never shine as bright on us

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all away

I've got it all wrong
'Cause you were not the wrong one
And I don't know where to turn
When you're gone

I won't desert you
I don't know what to say
I really hurt you
I nearly gave it all away

I've got it all wrong
'Cause you were not the wrong one
And I don't know where to turn
When you're gone

How many times must I lose my way, hey?
How many words do I have to say, hey?
What can I do just to make you see
That you're so good for a man like, a man like me?
