Rhyme Scheme: ABCDE FGHIJ KLMNO| You're sitting at a small bay window | A |
| in an empty caf by the sea | B |
| It's nightfall and the owner is locking up | C |
| though you're still hunched over the radiator | D |
| which is slowly losing warmth | E |
| - | |
| Now you're walking down to the shore | F |
| to watch the last blues fading on the waves | G |
| You've lived in small houses tight spaces | H |
| the walls around you kept closing in | I |
| but the sea and the sky were also yours | J |
| - | |
| No one else is around to drink with you | K |
| from the watery fog shadowy depths | L |
| You're alone with the whirling cosmos | M |
| Goodbye love far away in a warm place | N |
| Night is endless here silence infinite | O |
