I can still smell the fire
Though I know it's long died out
The smoke still hangs in my hair
And on some quiet evenings, it burns my eyes

So darling, play your violin
I know it's what you live for
Darling, play your violin
We will manage somehow

I once lived in the sea
Bring me to your ear, you can hear
The tide where I used to be
Though now I'm but a shell
Oh, baby, don't say sorry

Darling, play your violin (I once lived in the sea)
I know it's what you live for (bring me to your ear, you can hear)
Darling, play your violin (the tide where I used to be)
We will manage somehow (though now I'm but a shell)

Don't dare regret anything (oh, baby, don't say sorry)
Remember what you're here for (don't say sorry)
Just play your violin (don't say sorry)
We will manage somehow (don't say sorry)

(Okay)
