Someone said they saw you down there 
 
You left me before our son turned three 
          F               C    G 
Now he's looking for you everywhere

And I can't escape one thought 
 
Between you and me lies the Sargossa Sea 
        F                C      G 
And the boy thinks it's all his fault

Did you cry after you said goodbye 
        F     C        G 
Or just plain shut the door 
    F                 C     G 
And never think about us no more

We'll look for you until his heart's fulfiled
