Guess I was not thinking about anything
 
 I guess I was just coasting along
 
 Don't know how I ever let her get away
 
 I guess that I just lost it in the sun
 
  
  Sorrowful, my heart is like a desert plain
 
 I'm a nomad drifting alone
 
 Broken hearted's looking like my middle name
 
 I guess that I just lost it in the sun
  
 
 I took a plane from Worcester back to Pittsburgh
 
 Memories in my head like bullets in a gun
 
 On the sea of love we ran into an iceberg
 
 Through our anchor down then lost it in the sun
 
 Lord have mercy
  
 
 Spectral visions danced upon the cabin wall
 
 And showed me all the things I'd done
 
 Got sidetracked by an honest woman thin and tall
 
 Saw Jesus hand then lost it in the sun
  
 
 We made love to guarantee our emptiness
 
 And after she said, "Least that's done."
 
 I could have sworn she had a knack for tenderness
 
 I guess that she just lost it in the sun
  
 
 I took a plane from Worcester back to Pittsburgh
 
 Memories in my head like bullets in a gun
 
 One the sea of love we ran into an iceberg
 
 Threw our anchor down and then lost it in the sun
  
 
 We lost it in the sun
 
 And only ones are only temporary
 
 You can place the blame on me
 
 Lasting love is over rated
 
 Guess I circumnavigated all that once meant anything to me
 
 Neath the blue sky we did run
 
 Least until we lost it in the sun
 
 Lord have mercy
  
 
 I guess I was not thinking about anything
 
 I guess I was just coasting along
 
 I don't know how I ever let her get away from me
 
 I guess that I just lost her in the sun
