A sailor a sailor did drown my heart
because of your thunderous wave goodbye
and I never saw you sleeping
in your matching shoes
So a part of me still thinks you're alive
and if my mam is feeling better
we'll take some sandwiches for the road
and we'll drive into the lights on the way home
and my dad talks about the weather
says 'the arse is falling out of the sky'
the day that mary died Oooh
Oh lover! I've got plenty
so why do I feel like
I've got nothing
oh lover! i'm so empty - who am I now?
tell me who i'm going to be
or just give me back me
My saviour is braver than I can be
taking all the weapons out of my mind
and I sing for my supper but I sing for me
so a part of me is aching to survive
