Alone in my room   The morning that you loved me   A sweet salt perfume   Gently swept around me      The bed became a sailing ship   The floor became the sea   And you became an ocean bird   And flew away from me      I lie in my room   Delicate and broken   A dark echo looms   Of pretty words you'd spoken      Listing in my sailing ship   Upon the wine-dark sea   Sheets of red in brine and sweat   And no one at the wheel      Over the waves now   I call to you to come and rescue me   But you're far away now   So forever I'll go drifting out to sea      I locked up my room   And everything you'd opened   Sewed up my wound   To prove that you're forgotten      But I'll feast for you each year in spring   When birds begin to sing   When everything, yes, everything   Oh, everything is green      Over the waves now   I call to you to come and comfort me   But you're far away now   So your pretty face nevermore I'll see   No, your pretty face nevermore I'll see
