Such is life that comedy and tragedy exist in equal measure - quite some time ago I heard a news report about a man who had fallen off a pier into the sea one winter's day, I didn't know the circumstances but made up this story....maybe for some the burden of loneliness is just too much to bear...
Guitar - Punch new
I'M LOOKING ROUND, I'M LOOKING DOWN
IF I DROP INTO THE WATER, I'LL SURELY DROWN
LIFE WAS GOOD WITH YOU AROUND
NOW YOU'RE A MEMORY, AND I'M SINKING DOWN
CHORUS -
OH, WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE, JUST TO SEE YOUR FACE
BUT NOW I DON'T FEEL PART OF THE HUMAN RACE
WE USED TO LAUGH, I WAS YOUR CLOWN
YOU MADE ME UP, YOU BROUGHT ME DOWN
WE HAD OUR DAYS BESIDE THE SEA
NOW IT'S SO LONELY HERE, NOW THERE'S JUST ME
CHORUS -
OH, WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE, JUST TO SEE YOUR FACE
BUT NOW I DON'T FEEL PART OF THE HUMAN RACE
WE USED TO DANCE ALONG THE BEACH
NOW I'M ALONE HERE, YOU'RE OUT OF REACH
WE PASSED THE PIER AND CLIMBED THE TOWER
WHEN WE CAME DOWN, WE WERE CAUGHT IN A SHOWER
CHORUS -
OH, WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE, JUST TO SEE YOUR FACE
BUT NOW I DON'T FEEL PART OF THE HUMAN RACE
CHORUS -
OH, WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE, JUST TO SEE YOUR FACE
AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT AROUND TO SEE MY FALL FROM GRACE
THE YEARS HAVE PASSED, I'M STILL ALONE
I TURNED TO YOU, BUT YOU WERE GONE
I'M IN THE WATER....I'M SINKING DOWN
IT FEELS SO COLD, I'LL SURELY DROWN
CHORUS -
OH, WHAT I WOULDN'T GIVE, JUST TO SEE YOUR FACE
AT LEAST YOU'RE NOT AROUND TO SEE MY FALL FROM GRACE
I'M SINKING DOWN...
