The street bears no release
When everybody's fighting
The street bears no release
With life so hard and biting

I run the stairs away
And walk into the night-time
The sadness flows like water
And washes down the heartache
And washes down the heartache

[Chorus:]
My heart is full
My heart is wide
The saddest songs are played
On the strings of my heart

The heat is on its own
The roof seems so inviting
A vantage point is gained
To watch the children fighting

So lead me to the harbor
And float me on the waves
Sink me in the ocean
To sleep in a sailor's grace
To sleep in a sailor's grace

[Chorus x2]
My heart is full
My heart is wide
The saddest songs are played
On the strings of my heart
