The Cape
Tell me who broke your heart
Tell me who brought these tears to your eyes
Struck at the heal
Why did you reveal it
Or did it betray you again
What did you expect
Just sand in the oyster my friend
It's always the same wherever you look
You fell for the world
But you won't find a pearl
The oldest trick in the book
How did you forget
Thought you had quit long before
Waiting for love to wash up on your shore
Now you run till it hurts
The pain's getting worse
Might as well run a bit more
How bad can it get
I remember the dress that you wore
For a wedding or funeral I wasn't quite sure
All that I saw, standing in awe
Your hands smaller than the rain
Lighting a cigarette
Now that they've closed the Cape
There's nothing to do but crawl under the tape
Ole' Cali is sinking and Paris is dead
And who is that calling so late
There on the doorstep
Tell me who brought these tears to your eyes
Struck at the heal
Why did you reveal it
Or did it betray you again
What did you expect
Just sand in the oyster my friend
It's always the same wherever you look
You fell for the world
But you won't find a pearl
The oldest trick in the book
How did you forget
Thought you had quit long before
Waiting for love to wash up on your shore
Now you run till it hurts
The pain's getting worse
Might as well run a bit more
How bad can it get
I remember the dress that you wore
For a wedding or funeral I wasn't quite sure
All that I saw, standing in awe
Your hands smaller than the rain
Lighting a cigarette
Now that they've closed the Cape
There's nothing to do but crawl under the tape
Ole' Cali is sinking and Paris is dead
And who is that calling so late
There on the doorstep
