How can you always be late for your arrival?
You know I'd forgive you every single time 

Retreat, retreat
I've fallen at the low tides
Oh retreat, retreat
And meet me by the quaysides

In the end all you can hope for
Is the love you've felt to equal the pain you've gone through

Are your eyes showing off for mine
Your face in my hands is everything good I need 

The system's put in place, put there to protect us
For you I'd throw a lifeline every time 

Oh retreat, retreat
I've fallen at the low tides
Oh retreat, retreat
And meet me by the quaysides

In the end all you can hope for
Is the love you've felt to equal the pain you've gone through

Are your eyes showing off for mine
Your face in my hands is everything good I need 

Bones, starved of flesh
Surrounding aching hearts
Full of love 

Oh bones, starved of flesh
Surround your aching hearts
Full of love 

Bones, starved of flesh 
Surround your aching hearts

Bones
Oh bones 

I watch as your eyes show off for mine
I watch as your eyes show off
I watch as your eyes show off for mine 
I watch as your eyes show off
