Well she’s really very special
she’s no ordinary girl
she shines like a pearl
in the oyster of this world
I never loved her
till I saw her hands were shaking
I never felt for her
till I knew her heart was aching
But that’s all right baby
I know your ship is battered and torn
It’s just I thought that maybe I was a harbour
But I’m just another port in a storm
Well when you meet another
I just hope he treats you well
I see visions of the businessmen
in the intercontinental hotel
and when he puts his hand on yours
and the candle gutters low
and when he asks you to leave with him
will you tell him where he can go
But that’s …
From the empty sound of stale conversation
into the empty silence of my room
I’m sinking like a stone my love
and I feel the hand of doom
and I can hear your voice on the telephone line
though we’re a thousand miles apart
but long nights when I lie awake
I need someone who’ll speak to my heart
