I beg you raise your water to the feet tonight.
So I can dip my toes, and remember what it's like.
Just feeling free and having all the time I need,
This is why I sing the song to the sea
Beg you raise your water to the feet of mine
So I can dip my toes, remember what it's like
Just feeling free and having all the time I need
This is why I sing the song to the sea
I think of salt and sun and slightly blowing winds
I think of how I've cursed those rotten old love things
Just riding on nobody tells me where to be
This is why I sing the song
This is why I sing the song
This is why I sing the song to the sea
The dancing dunes are doing dishes with my brain
The disco drums are driving discords down to drain
I remain a bit then go on a bit, the tide comes and goes as I breath
This is why I sing the song
This is why I sing the song
This is why I sing the song to the sea
Been waiting all my life for something that's going to stay
Been waiting all my life for something that won't go away
I thought everything's dissolving, now found something that is going to be
This is why I sing the song
This is why I sing the song
This is why I sing the song to the sea
Now I'm back to grey town
The city lights arise
They're burning my soul down
I slowly recognize
That king prawns on concrete
Ain't something that I need
I never felt at ease
With all this city heat
This is why I sing the song
This is why I sing the song
This is why I sing the song to the sea
