Sea of Heartbreak Lyrics

The lights in the harbor
Don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship
Adrift on the sea

Sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine, I wish
You were mine again, my dear
I'm on this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
(Sea of heartbreak, heartbreak)

How did I lose you?
Oh, where did I fail?
Why did you leave me?
Always to sail

This sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine, how I wish
You were mine again, my dear
I am on the sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
(Sea of heartbreak, ahh)

Oh, what I'd give to sail back to shore
Back to your arms once more
Oh, come to my rescue
Come here to me
Take me and keep me
Away from the sea

Yes, this sea of heartbreak
Lost love and loneliness
Memories of your caress
So divine, how I wish
You were mine again, my dear
I'm on the sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
It's a sea of heartbreak
(Sea of heartbreak, ahh)
