Been a long year come behind us
A winter or two since I went
On a jetliner plane into Brooklyn
There’s a part of me hasn’t left yet
Almost a lifetime of longing
Crushed into five years or so
Tell me something that I don’t know
Saint Valentine’s Day has to go
Times that I blamed it on drinkin’
Times that I blamed it on her
This time there is no one to blame it on
Saint Valentine’s Day is a curse
I swam to the island to meet you
To lay on the beach in the sun
We watched the full moon bathe the evening
Next morning I looked, you were gone
There’s a line in the sand makes a shadow
A line that I said I won’t cross
The tide pushed the ocean to wash it away
Saint Valentine’s Day is now lost
Ask me again in a week’s time
How could I treat her so wrong
I know that my heart was a’bleeding
It felt like my heart had been stopped
Times that I blamed it on drinkin’
Times that I blamed it on her
This time I can only blame it on me
Saint Valentine’s Day makes it worse
