Many partings

Never thought you would say this
Our cup overflowed
But here we are standing
At the crossroads
Our lifeline has ended
We point different ways
With mouths full of curses
& eyes of dismay

And now i´m uprooted
Ready for the pyre
This house has been looted
& put to the fire

You say, maybe later
But my heart, says maybe never
You, say, let´s keep hoping
I say, let´s keep sinking

I thought we would marry
You were my evening star
Now i´m alone on this lifebboat
At sea in the dark

You´re sailing to someone
Or some other place
Maybe to something
Or some other face

You say, maybe later
But my heart, says maybe never
You, say, let´s keep hoping
I say, let´s keep sinking

You say, maybe later
But my heart, says maybe never
You, say, let´s keep hoping
I say, let´s keep sinking
