[Verse 1] Every man needs a hammer Or a mountain to climb A damsel to rescue in the nick of time I know now the answer Was buried all along And all I have is heartache and a song [Verse 2] See I once loved a woman And she shined bright like the sun Never how truly I could love someone And then one day she figured It was time to move along And all I have is heartache and a song [Chorus 1] Well my song, it goes on just like the ocean It might come some days, but it never really dies All I tried to say remains unspoken And the melody keeps waiting for the tides... [Verse 3] You were stuck inside the summer The heat it beat down strong The sweat upon my brow I've known my whole life long You'd think after all my toil I'd still hold her in my arms But all I have is heartache and a song
[Chorus] Yeah, my song, it goes on just like the ocean It might come some days, but it never really dies All I tried to say remains unspoken And the melody keeps waiting for the tides... Interlude [Verse 4] Well, I climbed that weary mountain I tried to build a home I tried to save her heart and hold it to my own I thought I had the answers But she went and proved me wrong Now all I have is heartache and a song [Chorus] Yeah, my song, it goes on just like the ocean It might come some days, but it never really dies All I tried to say remains unspoken And the melody keeps waiting, keeps waiting for the tides... Yeah, my song, it goes on just like the ocean It might come some days, but it never really dies All I tried to say remains unspoken And the melody keeps waiting for the tides...
