Like sailin' on a sailin' ship
To nowhere
Love took over my heart
Like an ocean breeze
As seagulls fly I knew
That I was losin'
Love was washed away
With the driftin' tide

Oh, it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love
Is a love song
That's got you layin' up nights
Just waitin' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame
When you get to take the blame
For a love song
Because the best love songs
Are written with a broken heart

And now the tears in my eyes
Are ever blinding
The future that lies
Before me I cannot see
Although tomorrow I know
The sun is rising
Lighting up the world for everyone,
But not for me

Oh, it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love
Is a love song
That's got you layin' up nights
Just waitin' for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame
When you get to take the blame
For a love song
Because the best love songs
Are written with a broken heart
