Broken Hearted and Beautiful - Marc Almond

Waves break over the shore, her heart breaks over him

Fickle love, faded fantasies, sweet dreams turning sour within

She touching fourty-four and he not so sweet sixteen

And though she loved him more it seemed this love had never, ever been

Oh, you know you’re still beautiful

Oh, you know you’re still beautiful

Oh, you know you’re still beautiful

Empty bottles on the shelf as time came to pass

(On the shelf your lonely heart)

She thought she’d find his angel face in the bottom of a whiskey glass

(Thinking of him, fall apart)

Could’ve been his mother but she hoped she’d be his lover just for a little

while

Freshened up her make-up, sighed, and tried to welcome middle age with a

friendly smile

She leans to tattoo him with one long last kiss

Gee I never knew love could be like this

The smell of cheap Gin laced with midnight cologne

The man on the T.V. calls «Kathy, Kathy come home»

Yeah, Kathy come home

Waves break over the shore, her heart broke over him

(The waves take your breaking heart)

She threw her memories to the sea and now it’s just as if he’d never, ever been

(Tides bring a brand new start)

Never, ever been

Letters and photographs, the tide has taken them far away, far away

She still looking beautiful and who needs him anyway?

Anyway

Oh, you know you’re still beautiful

Let the waves take your breaking heart

Let the waves take your breaking heart

Let the waves take your breaking heart

Your breaking heart

Your breaking heart
