on a sailing ship to nowhere
Love took over my heart
like an ocean breeze
As seagulls fly, I knew that I was losing
Love was washed away
with the drifting tide
Oh, it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love
is a love song
It's got you laying up nights,
waiting for the music to start
It's such a dirty old shame
when you got to take the blame
for a love song
Those are best love songs
all written with a broken heart
And now the tears in my eyes
are ever blinding
The future that lies before me
I cannot see
Look at me, look at me,
future I can not see
Although tomorrow I
know the sun is rising
Lighting up the world for every one
but not for me
Oh, it's a dirty old shame
when all you get from love
is a love song
Because the best love songs
are written with a broken heart
It's a dirty old shame
when all you get for love is a love song
It's a dirty
old shame
when you've got to take the
blame for a love song
Because the best love songs
Are written with a broken heart
Oh, it's a dirty old shame
When all you get from love
is a love song
It's got you laying up nights
Waiting for the music to stop
It's such a dirty old shame
when you've got to take
the blame for a love song.
