From the recording THE BEST OF EMY DAY
Lyrics
I met him in a bar on a rainy night,
Saw a man in the corner, lost in his fight,
I leaned in close, asked, "Why so sad for a guy?"
He looked through me, whispered, "Empty inside."
You told me you were searching for something to hold,
Told me you felt lonely, your story was told.
Then you asked me why, and that's when I said,
I'm broken and empty, just got back home again.
Oh, what a shame for such a handsome face,
Did you drive her away, or was it just time and space?
Seven months at sea, I was lost in my dreams,
She left me for another, tore apart my seams.
You smiled, said, "I love the ocean and those salty waves,
How about we make memories, let’s see what love saves?"
And maybe we could gather the shattered pieces too,
He said, "It's possible if you like a broken view."
I love puzzles, especially putting them together in bed,
I told him softly, "Let me see where this goes instead."
Oh, what a shame for such a handsome face,
Did you drive her away, or was it just time and space?
Seven months at sea, I was lost in my dreams,
She left me for another, tore apart my seams.
He thought for a moment, weighing his heart's embrace,
Then he smiled and said, "I like that you see me for what I can face."
A broken sailor, healed by love's gentle touch,
Finding light in the dark, you mean so much.
So come take a chance, let’s weave hopes anew,
In the arms of a sailor, let me sail with you.
You opened your heart, and I felt it glow,
In a world full of sorrow, you helped me grow.
Oh, what a shame for such a handsome face,
Did you drive her away, or was it just time and space?
Seven months at sea, I was lost in my dreams,
With your warmth, I found home and love’s gentle beams.
So here's to the night, where two souls collide,
A broken sailor, in your love, I'll confide.
Together we’ll mend what’s torn apart,
A gentle woman’s touch can heal a broken heart.
