Dave Stewart - St. Valentine's Day lyrics

I fell down on it Valentine's day Dropped my flowers in the rain And got carried away The tide was coming in I could have been sad I could have been amused But I was just in pieces It was then that I knew The tide was coming in Aaahh this pattern on the back of my hand It makes a joke of me and the veins are like Rivers in sand running out to sea Nobody slept on the night of the crash We were all covered in devil grey ash The tide was coming in I could have been dead I could have been underground But somebody decided I should stick around The tide was coming in Aaahh I know I'm just k**ing time But time is k**ing me My eyes are witness to this crime and looking out to sea
