[Intro]
(One, two, one, two, three four)
[Verse 1]
The lights in the harbour
Don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship
Adrift on the sea
[Chorus]
The 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 this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
[Verse 2]
Oh, how did I lose you?
Oh, where did I fail?
Why did you leave me?
Always to sail
[Chorus]
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 this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
[Verse 3]
Oh, what I'd give just to sail back to shore
Back to your arms once more
Come to my rescue
Oh, come here to me
Take me and keep me
Away from the sea
[Chorus]
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 this sea of tears
Sea of heartbreak
[Outro]
Sea of heartbreak
Sea of heartbreak
Sea of heartbreak
