[Verse 1]

A wishbone hangs between your breasts

I hope you haven't pulled it yet

And if this little finger doesn't have the strength

Then I'm scared that this bird's back bone breaks

[Chorus]

It's only hope that springs eternal

And that's the reason why

This dripping from my broken heart

Is never running dry

[Verse 2]

I wear a ring of your lipstick

Around the knuckle of my fourth digit

It reminds me what our bodies sowed

It will do until we are betrothed

[Chorus]

It's only hope that springs eternal

And that's the reason why

This dripping from my brokеn heart

Is never running dry

Nеver running dry

[Verse 3]

The space between your navel

And your waistband was the ice

Where two fingers pirouette

But now these hang nails, they just slice

[Chorus]

It's only hope that springs eternal

And that's the reason why

This dripping from my broken heart

Is never running dry

Never running dry

[Bridge]

Your tongue, the tide, your lips, the shore

I am the jetsam overboard

Goodbye courage

I christen all the ships that sailed

On your little kisses' saliva trails

Goodbye courage

Hello sadness, again

[Refrain]

Little kisses come to pass, then

Goodbye courage, hello sadness

[Chorus]

It's hope that springs eternal (Little kisses)

And that's the reason why (Come to pass, then)

This dripping from my broken heart (Goodbye courage)

Is never running dry (Hello Sadness)

It's hope that springs eternal (Little kisses)

And that's the reason why (Come to pass, then)

My broken heart is never running dry (Goodbye courage)

[Verse 4]

Now that those four fingers gone

You leave me only with my thumb

That constantly is pointing down

The emperor bears teeth not frown

[Chorus]

It's only hope that springs eternal

And that's the reason why

This dripping from my broken heart

Is never running dry

Never running dry
