I went down to the sea

Alone on that stormy day

Hoped the wind and the rain

Might wash my pain away



So I took that ring

And I threw it out on the sea

The ring just sank down

But the pain still was there with me



Picking up the pieces of my life

When I look back it still cuts like a knife

To see us both give up so easily

And much too soon



Did you really think it was too late

The only thing you should have done was to have some faith

In me when I needed it the most

But you never did



We have only two hands

So we can't hold too much at once

And for some things in life

We just get one single chance



As long as it's good

We wish it may never stop

But to pick up something new

There's always one thing we have to drop



Those mistakes we made

May help us to make amends

But it is so hard to see things like that

While you stand there with empty hands



But I know one day love

Is going to come back on silent wings

Now that we know what we have lost

Let's see what tomorrow brings
