Here's a man of sorrows, children
As constant as the sea
Searching for a heart
That's lost it's stone.
She moves like a serpent, baby
Through time she drags her tail
Of all the broken hearted
Left behind.
Let's just sit here a little bit longer
With these bruised and battered hearts
Let's just say they were damaged
From the start.
There they go like shadows, darling
Between this world and that
Never knowing where the light
Will shine.
But I can tell you one thing, sweetheart
We share a place in time
Nothing more is needed
'Cause you're mine.
Let's just sit here a little bit longer
With these bruised and battered hearts
Let's just say they were damaged
From the start.
Such a perfect pairing, dear one,
The pacific and it's rock
A battle weighed on scales
We can not know.
Let's just sit here a little bit longer
Oh how we broke each others hearts
Let's just say they were damaged
From the start.
Let's just sit here a little bit longer
These scarred and healing hearts
Let's just say they were damaged
From the start.
