Like sailin' on a sailin' ship to nowhere  Love took over my heart like an ocean breeze  As seagulls fly I knew that I was losin'  Love was washed away with the driftin' tide    chorus:  Oh it's a dirty old shame  When all you get from love is a love song  That's got you layin' up nights just waitin'    for the music to start  It's such a dirty old shame when you got    to take the blame for a love song  Because the best love songs are written   with a broken heart    And now the tears in my eyes are ever blinding  The future that lies before me I cannot see  Although tomorrow I know the sun is rising  Lighting up the world for everyone    [Chorus]  [Chorus]  [Chorus]
