Cash, Johnny - Sea Of Heartbreak Lyrics






(One, two, one, two, three four.)

The lights in the harbor,
Don't shine for me.
I'm like a lost ship,
Adrift on the sea.

The sea of heartbreak.
Lost love and loneliness,
Memories of your caress.
So divine how I wish
You were mine again my dear.
I'm on this sea of tears,
Sea of heartbreak.

Oh, how did I lose you?
Oh, where did I fail?
Why did you leave me?
Always to sail,

The sea of heartbreak.
Lost love and loneliness,
Memories of your caress.
So divine how I wish
You were mine again my dear.
I'm on this sea of tears,
Sea of heartbreak.

Oh, what I'd give just to sail back to shore,
Back to your arms once more.
Come to my rescue, oh, come here to me.
Take me and keep me away from the sea.

Sea of heartbreak.
Lost love and loneliness,
Memories of your caress.
So divine how I wish
You were mine again my dear.
I'm on this sea of tears,
Sea of heartbreak.

Sea of heartbreak.
Sea of heartbreak.
Sea of heartbreak.

    +Lugianite I forgot about that scene- black and white footage of the Korean War set to this song.

    Don Gibson did the Heartbreak Ridge into song. Same song different artist.

    "The lights /

    Jason M. Good call it is in fact Tom and The Heartbreakers assisting Johnny with this gem of a song!!!

    Lindsey Buckingham too.

  25. M.... Z....

    This won't work on my mobile. Why. Blah Blah Blah. 

  26. H.... ....

    One of Johnnys best songs.

    H.... ....

    Except it's Don Gibson's.

    H.... ....

    @Mr President Gibson had the first hit with it in 1961. But the song (and, presumably, the royalties) belongs to the writers, Paul Hampton and Hal David.

  27. J.... F....

    absolutely right Jason, that's definitely Tom Petty counting in at the front of the track, great performance :-)

    J.... F....

    Jacqui Forster good my man

  28. j.... M....

    False..... The backing band on this entire CD are the Heartbreakers.... On this track backing vocals being no other then Tom Petty himself.

  29. L.... ....

    F*cking A! I never knew that, after all of these years. I guess I should get out the old magnifying glass and read the f*cking liner notes!

  30. L.... ....

    God bless Hal David (who wrote this song!) RIP, man.

  31. k.... ....

    yes, Lindsey on guitar, Mick on percussion. something undeniably fleetwood mac about the sound.

    k.... ....

    kaitsy - I was thinking the lead sounded more like a Roger McGuinn lick
