One Big Sea

She's not here in this seaside town
Doesn't prevent me from looking for her
Couple of hours spent walking around
Didn't so much as get closer to her
And I can't describe her face or her voice, je regrette
Nor live without the grace of the day we never met

Seafront's lonely at this time of night
Nothing to do but miss her some more
Please don't ask me if I'm alright
What do you think I'm crying here for?

I found six different offers of chinese food
Five lousy bars serving snacks
A four week old newspaper and
Three journeymen in black, well it's a
Two way choice, and in simple terms
They're neither too sweet-sounding
It's one long ache while I wait and wait
Or one big sea to drown in.

I don't know if she's gone for good
How would it help to know if she was?
Haven't I done as much as I could?
If I dismiss you it's only because

It isn't your fault, then again, if it is
If I started blaming you would that make you feel big?
And I can't describe her face or her voice (je regrette)
Nor live without the grace of the day we never met
