Don’t leave your emeralds spread out on the shore
Coz if he wanted you he wouldn’t adore
The sand he shares with someone else
And you have your own particular wealth
And they all agree
That he isn’t meant for me
Coz he has a home already made
And I’m just standing in the shade
That is cast by a vast tree
And my ocean is all at sea
Why do I fight what I know
What is it in me that just won’t let go
What’s been held onto for so long
I always tried to be strong
And make my pain into a song
Don’t come back now and say it’s wrong
