when everybody's fighting
 the street bears no relief
 with light so hot and binding

 i run the stairs away
 and walk into the nighttime
 the sadness flows like water
 and washes down the heartache
 and washes down the heartache

 my heart is full
 my heart is wide
 the saddest song to play
 on the strings of my heart

 the heat is on its own
 the roof seems so inviting
 a vantage point is gained
 to watch the children fighting

 so lead me to the harbour
 and float me on the waves
 sink me in the ocean
 to sleep in a sailor's grave
 to sleep in a sailor's grave

 my heart is full
 my heart is wide
 the saddest song to play
 on the strings of my heart

 my heart is full
 my heart is wide, so wide
 the saddest song to play
 on the strings of my heart
