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 
 Never [bad word] home 

 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 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
