How come you're always late for your arrival
You know I forgive you every single time
Oh retreat, retreat, I've fallen at the low tide
Oh retreat, retreat and meet me by the quayside
In the end all you can hope for
Is the love you've found to equal the pain you've gone through
Are your eyes showing off for mine
Your face in my hands is everything that I need
A system's put in place, put there to protect us
For you I throw a lifeline every time
Oh Retreat, retreat, I've fallen at the low tide
Now retreat, retreat and meet me by the quayside
In the end all you can hope for
Is the love you've found to equal the pain you've gone through
Are your eyes showing off for mine
Your face in my hands is everything I need
Bones, starved of flesh
Surround an aching heart
Full of love
Oh bones, starved of flesh
Surround an aching heart
Full of love
Retreat
Retreat
Retreat, retreat
Retreat, retreat
Retreat, retreat, I've fallen by the low tide
Retreat, retreat and meet me by the quayside
Oh retreat, retreat, I've fallen at the low tide
Retreat, retreat and meet me by the quayside
