How can you always be late for your arrival   You know I'd forgive you every single time       Retreat, retreat   I've fallen at the low tides   Oh retreat, retreat   And meet me by the quaysides      In the end all you can hope for   Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through      Are your eyes showing off for mine   Your face in my hands is everything good I need       The system's put in place, put there to protect us   For you I'd throw a lifeline every time       Oh retreat, retreat   I've fallen at the low tides   Oh retreat, retreat   And meet me by the quaysides      In the end all you can hope for   Is the love you felt to equal the pain you've gone through      Are your eyes showing off for mine   Your face in my hands is everything good I need       Bones, starved of flesh   Surrounding aching hearts   Full of love       Oh bones, starved of flesh   Surround your aching hearts   Full of love       Bones, starved of flesh    Surround your aching hearts      Bones   Oh bones       I watch as your eyes show off for mine   I watch as your eyes show off   I watch as your eyes show off for mine    I watch as your eyes show off
