I’m sitting alone on a cliff at the seaside
I’m holding your picture there in the moonlight
The night like a giant is falling on me.
I wish I could leave behind memories of the past
But they’re hunting and keeping me close
No, you won’t, you won’t let me go
No, I won’t, I won’t let you go
I tried to imagine that you’re not there
And I tried to pretend I don’t care
Why can’t you let me believe it’s over.
‘cause when you’re not with me the world changes
And the streets are full of strangers
O baby, I’ll be waiting for you forever and ever.
(How can I not love you, why can I not hold you)
When the city’s going to bed in the night
I’m thinking of you and I’m living inside my head
I love you but just on my own.
It was easy to walk in the jailhouse of love
But then nobody told us how to get out to the light
And I stayed in the jailhouse of love
I stayed in the jailhouse of love
I remained in the jailhouse of love.
