I tried the yellow pages
But you weren’t there
I’m spending unpaid hours
Trying to prove I care
Now the word is you live by the sea
So here I am in my Mercedes
Daffodils in the back seat
I wrote them off as expenses
Out here the waves are choppy
Like the way we used to be
And sunlight begs my new paint job as I look around
Thinking about my bankrupt heart and the sea
It was tough in the fast lane
I guess I left you behind
But I paid up my overheads
And now you’re back on my mind
I just want to ask for a chance
To bring you back for the city
I’m searching for golden sands
But I only find your footsteps
And your trail won’t deal with me
And now the sands are shifting
The wind is blowing hard
And I’m alone with my bankrupt heart and the sea
The front seat’s where I keep my cashbook
I won’t note this one down
Your love is a loss I can’t recover
Because it’s the only one I’ve found
Yeah, it’s the only one
Now I stare at the ocean
Wondering what went wrong with me
Done my best with all I’ve been given
But I still don’t have what I need
And business is all very well
But out here I’ve nothing to sell
If I’m honest
All I have is a bankrupt heart
