[Verse 1]
The lights in the harbor don't shine for me
I'm like a lost ship adrift out on the sea
[Chorus]
Oh, sea of heartbreak, lost love, and loneliness
Memories of your caress so divine
I wish that you were mine again, my dear
I'm on this sea of tears, sea of heartbreak
[Verse 2]
Oh why did I lose you? Oh where did I fail?
And why did you leave me always to sail?
[Chorus]
This sea of heartbreak, lost love, and loneliness
Memories of your caress so divine
I wish you were mine again, my dear
I am on this sea of tears, sea of heartbreak
[Bridge]
Oh, what I'd give to sail back to shore
Back to your arms once more
[Verse 3]
Come to my rescue, yea come here to me
Take me and keep me away from the sea
[Chorus]
Oh, sea of heartbreak, lost love, and loneliness
Memories of your caress so divine
How I wish that you were mine again, my dear
I'm on this sea of tears, sea of heartbreak
