valentine's day

valentine's day in the cemetery
and all of the dancers are dead
been running so long
don't know where i want wrong
and my heart is as heavy as lead

valentine's day in the mortuary
all of the knives are so clean
they shine in the sun
as they whisper of one
who will show them the things they have seen

valentine's day in the hospital
all of the nurses are gone
i'm looking for you
i don't know what to do
i can't even remember this song

valentine's day in the dockyard
all of the ships sail away
i'm left here alone
with a flower and a phone
and a rock and a handful of hay
