I am chained to the absence of your face
And I am torn apart between the silence and the rain
Forever changed by the islands in our way
Trying to plot a course to you the fastest that I can
And it's torture, oh all the water
So much water, too far to swim
You call me baby so much more lately
But you can't save me
I can't be saved
Because when you go, distance only knows
How to make the heart grow fonder
I am plagued by the hours in the day
And with each one I wonder why on earth I went away
It's half past eight, looking for the words to say
So for a change some happy tears can stream down from your face
And it's torture, oh all the water
So much water, too far to swim
You call me baby so much more lately
But you can't save me
I can't be saved
Because when I go, distance only knows
How to make the heart grow fonder
And it's torture (Yes it's torture), oh all the water (Oh all the water)
So much water (So much water), too far to swim
You call me baby (You call me baby) so much more lately (So much more lately)
But you can't save me
I can't be saved
Because when you go, distance only knows
How to make the heart grow fonder
Fonder, fonder
