3. Out across the endless sea I would die in ecstasy But
4. Somethin’ has to make you run I don’t know why I didn’t come I
2. kneelin’ in the sand Catchin’ teardrops in my hand (to Chorus)
3. I’ll be a bag of bones Drivin’ down the road alone (to Chorus)
4. feel as empty as a drum I don’t know why I didn’t come I don’t know why I
4. didn’t come I don’t know why I didn’t come
