The street bears no release
When everybody's fighting
The street bears no release
With life so hard and bitingI run the stairs away
And walk into the night-time
The sadness flows like water
And washes down the heartache
And washes down the heartache[Chorus:]
My heart is full
My heart is wide
The saddest songs are played
On the strings of my heartThe heat is on its own
The roof seems so inviting
A vantage point is gained
To watch the children fightingSo lead me to the harbor
And float me on the waves
Sink me in the ocean
To sleep in a sailor's grace
To sleep in a sailor's grace[Chorus x2]
My heart is full
My heart is wide
The saddest songs are played
On the strings of my heart
