Story Behind the Song
Lyrics
Cliffs of my heart
I stand alone on the rocks
at the edge of the stormy sea,
watching the ships depart,
sailing away from me.
They're off to seek some other land,
and once again I can't understand,
why love can never last,
and the future repeats the past,
and the waves continue to crash
at the cliffs of my heart.
The sea birds hang in the air,
riding the rising wind,
reminding me of the times
I thought I could fly with them.
Now I've lost everything that I found,
and I'm stranded here on the ground,
'cause every flight leads to a fall,
until there's nothing left at all,
except the echoes of love that call
at the cliffs of my heart.
I've learned after all of these years,
that when the light of day disappears,
you can't expect someone else
to soothe all your fears,
'cause every flight leads to a fall,
until there's nothing left at all,
except the echoes of love that call
at the cliffs of my heart.
I stand alone on the rocks
at the edge of the stormy sea,
watching the ships depart,
sailing away from me.
They're off to seek some other land,
and once again I can't understand,
why love can never last,
and the future repeats the past,
and all my hopes have been dashed
at the cliffs of my heart.
