Lyrics
I once crossed the ocean blue,
With my heart tied in a knot
I could not see you,
I could not need you.
You used to love me when I cried,
You used to love me when I died inside.

Moon light crawls through the door
And I don't think you're coming home at all,
You took your saxophone,
Your mother's picture by the telephone,
Don't leave me hanging by the telephone
(Don't leave me hanging on the telephone.)
You used to love me when I cried,
You used to love me when I--- cried.

I once crossed the ocean blue,
With my heart tied in a knot
I could not see you,
I could not need you.
But now I love you---
Yes now I need--- you.
I used to love you when I cried,
You used to love me when I died inside.

You used to love me when I cried,
You used to love me when I died inside.
You used rock me when I lied,
You used to love me when I cried.

Gorgeous Mix
Christian,

I my twisted and somewhat humbled opion, this is your most perfect song you've posted here. The vocals are nailed on top of each other. Outstanding job. The lyrics are so sad and wonderful. Man, I can't get over your vocals on this tune. Whew! What a fine mix. This is magical, my friend, pure magic.
