Buried Treasure
Conway Deborah Lyrics

I fell for him like a ten ton anchor
I fell deeply and quickly in love with him, and it felt like a heavy burden on my heart.

We went sailing off on some Egyptian liner
We embarked on a thrilling adventure together, just like sailing on a majestic and exotic ship.

All blue and shiny that water in motion
I remember how beautiful and mesmerizing the sea with its shimmering blue waves was, as our ship sped forward.

You know I never was looking for the bottom of the ocean
Although I loved him, I was not looking for something that would drag me down and drown me in misery.

But I found it
Despite my expectations, I fell to the depths of despair as our love turned sour.

I'm just trying to keep afloat
I am struggling to keep my life together and survive through the emotional turmoil of our failed relationship.

I don't want to change the world
I don't have grandiose ambitions or aspirations to change the world, but to find peace and happiness within myself.

I'm not looking for an answer
I don't need to find the ultimate explanation or solution to my problems, but rather to accept what happened and move on.

We moved in a dream we moved in together
We were living in a fairy tale, believing that our love would conquer all and we would spend our lives together in blissful harmony.

And it was a crazy scene 'til the thing went sour
Our relationship was full of drama, excitement, and passion, but eventually it crumbled and brought chaos, sadness, and regret.

At the end it's the same you take what you can
In the end, when everything is lost, you try to salvage what you can and survive in any way possible.

And you hope maybe someday you might learn how to pick the right man
I still hold onto the hope that someday, I will find the one who is meant for me, and who will bring me true happiness and love.

I'm still waiting
I am still searching and waiting for that special someone to come into my life and fill my heart with joy.

I'm just trying to steer this boat
I am trying to navigate through life and find my way, even though sometimes I feel lost and uncertain about my future.

I'm not looking for buried treasure
I am not searching for some elusive and priceless treasure that will give me riches and fame, but rather for something simple and real.

I'm too old to change the world
I have come to accept that I am not young and idealistic anymore, and that changing the world is not my priority, but rather living my life to the fullest.

I might be lonely tonight
I may feel alone and isolated at times, especially in the dark and quiet of the night, when my thoughts and fears haunt me.

But the harbour lights flicker and shine
I find solace and comfort in the twinkling lights of the harbour, and in the beauty and serenity of the night.

Like good friends of mine
The lights of the harbour seem to be my dear friends, who are always there for me, shining and guiding me through the darkness.

All my great aunts who never got married
I think of all my elderly female relatives who never found their soulmates and remained unmarried, yet lived long and full lives.

And lived to a hundred does that tell you something?
Their longevity and resilience in the face of loneliness and hardship show me that one can find happiness and meaning in life even without a romantic partner.

Not to jump to conclusions
I don't want to make hasty assumptions or judgments about my life and future, but to take my time and reflect on what matters most to me.

I make no assumptions
I try to stay open-minded and unbiased, and not to assume or expect anything from anyone or anything.

But alone I sleep better and it sure makes you wonder
Although being alone can be scary and unsettling, it also gives me peace and freedom, and makes me wonder whether I really need someone else to be happy.

Did they find it
I wonder if my great aunts ever found what they were looking for, or if they found something even greater and more fulfilling than love.
