Guess I was not thinking about anything I guess I was just coasting along Don't know how I ever let her get away I guess that I just lost it in the sun Sorrowful, my heart is like a desert plain I'm a nomad drifting alone Broken hearted's looking like my middle name I guess that I just lost it in the sun I took a plane from Worcester back to Pittsburgh Memories in my head like bullets in a gun On the sea of love we ran into an iceberg Through our anchor down then lost it in the sun Lord have mercy Spectral visions danced upon the cabin wall And showed me all the things I'd done Got sidetracked by an honest woman thin and tall Saw Jesus hand then lost it in the sun We made love to guarantee our emptiness And after she said, "Least that's done." I could have sworn she had a knack for tenderness I guess that she just lost it in the sun I took a plane from Worcester back to Pittsburgh Memories in my head like bullets in a gun One the sea of love we ran into an iceberg Threw our anchor down and then lost it in the sun We lost it in the sun And only ones are only temporary You can place the blame on me Lasting love is over rated Guess I circumnavigated all that once meant anything to me Neath the blue sky we did run Least until we lost it in the sun Lord have mercy I guess I was not thinking about anything I guess I was just coasting along I don't know how I ever let her get away from me I guess that I just lost her in the sun
