From Canvey To Cairo

I have a friend in Egypt
And it seems we're in dispute
About the sound of a heartbreak
Can it be heard or is it mute?

Is it tempered on the Thames
Or is it noisy on the Nile
No matter what the sound
It's not a thing to make you smile

Did the pharaohs know the answer
Can it be found down Essex way
Or will we agree to disagree
On a heartbreaks tune today

I guess we'll never know the soundtrack
That accompanies the heart
On its journey into sadness
After it's been torn apart

I'll tell you one thing Sarah
And it's something we both know
Heartbreaks sound the same
From Canvey Island to Cairo
