There was an anchor 

There was a silver-sweet refrain 

You tucked your fingers in between my troubled bones 

And what you did next was second-to-none 

You really let us down 

You tied yourself up 

And jumped in the sea 



Valium 

You left me all alone 

Tell me when 

I will be whole again 



There was a whisper 

Once there were heralds and parades 

You sang your secrets through the tolling of the tide 

The fugitive rooms, the amateur tombs 

The silence and the cries 

The quickening beat 

Your march to the sea 

Never to return 



Sweet morphine 

You've taken all of me 

Let me know 

When you will let me go 



Heroin 

Where did you take my friend? 

Tell me why 

Those ropes are hanging high 



Valium 

You left me all alone
