Along she came with her picture
Put it in a frame so I won´t miss her
Got on a plane from London Heathrow
It seems such a shame, yeah

{Refrain:}
I feel her slipping through my fingers
Now she´s gone,
I´m sleeping with the light on
And sharks swim through my veins now
That she´s gone,
I´m sleeping with the light on

Heard she´s engaged but to her best friend
No one´s to blame, here´s where it all ends
And I feel the pain cause I´m without her
I feel the pain

{Refrain:}
I feel her slipping through my fingers
Now she´s gone,
I´m sleeping with the light on
And sharks swim through my veins now
That she´s gone,
I´m sleeping with the light on

Is she the sign with a different life?
Words cannot describe the way I´m feeling
Cause I´ve been searching in my head
For the words I thought she said
For too long

{Refrain: Ad lib}
I feel her slipping through my fingers
Now she´s gone,
I´m sleeping with the light on
And sharks swim through my veins now
That she´s gone,
I´m sleeping with the light on
