Shipwreck Of Love

Shipwreck Of Love
@Rick Lang

From the port we climbed aboard our new-found ship of love
Two restless hearts beat as one
We set sail from the harbor of bliss & happiness into a sea of heartache & regret
…with no warnin’ of just what lie ahead


In love’s unchartered waters we drifted far off course
Our differences churned like the undertow
Angry waves of deceit came crashing on the deck,
felt our helpless ship begin to list
…and I wondered how it came to this

*CHORUS
Tossed by the troubled winds I knew we wouldn’t last
Our ill-fated ship was sinking fast
Next thing I remember I lay washed up on the shore
Just another victim of….a shipwreck of love


As I surveyed the wreckage tears welled in my eyes
This shipwreck, our love would not survive
Just like some sunken treasure out on the ocean floor
The hopes and dreams we thought lay in store
…were lost forever and forevermore
