A Note on This Song

The song is about lost love and the passage of time. The lyrics tell the story of someone who returns to find a past love, only to discover that she has been gone for years. Despite moving forward in life—working at the docks and trying to make a living—the narrator's heart remains attached to her memory.

Lyrics

Prelude

You know you can call me...

Verse 1

Your father opens the door. I recognise him from the old days before He lets me inside and asks how I've been. I tell him my story at my short army stint He said that you've left for a couple years away. I'm sorry son. I like you. It's a real shame

Chorus

All I want is you, oh Just your heart once more And your laugh, come close, trust me

Verse 2

I got work at the docks now. It's a decent pay. My manager even asked me if I wanted to stay in the trade So now I'm leaving for a couple of months on sea I'm still thinking of you, do you still think of me

Chorus

All I want is you, oh Just your heart once more And your laugh, come close, trust me

Bridge

Now my ship is sinking to the ocean floor My last thought of your smile from days before Now I'm dying, I'm dying on sea Don't you start crying, don't forget me You better start living go find the sea Just don't forget that you can trust me

Bridge 2

Sometimes I dream you'll say I miss you but my heart will be okay Sometimes I dream you'll say I'll kiss you and our love will never fade But then I wake up But then I wake up and you've forgotten me But then I wake up and you've forgotten me But then I wake up and you've forgotten me
