Lyrics

Sweetie-pie
I've fallen in love
And the joke is on me
And the sun's given up

I'm depending on you
To see I get safely to
The port where my heart is too lost to find
And we'll be there to meet you when it's your time

Sweetie-pie
I'm ending my life
Because I've fallen in love
And enough is enough

I'm depending on you
To see I get safely to
The port where my heart is too lost to find
And we'll be there to meet you when it's your time

Sweetie-pie
How I feel in my mind
And how I live in the world
They are oceans apart

I'm depending on you
To see I get safely to
The port where my heart is too lost to find
And we'll be there to meet you when it's your time
