Run off with my heart into the night
Once I had thought you would never let me go
Now I'm alone after all
I've sat for hours at my table
Poring over maps about our stars
All they would say is that you were always here
And, now, like a ghost, you've disappeared
Strange, how you came
like a reef up from the sea
Up from the blood in my veins
Ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba . . .
Now that the cold and the silence
that you left behind you are my friends
I wonder why did you padlock up my heart
If you never meant to return
Run off with my heart into the night
Once I'd have thought
you would never let me go
Now, I'm alone after all
