A memory of the sea And a song painted blue Fades away, the rhymes won't shine Won't shine, won't shine again A memory of the sea And a song painted blue Fades away, the rhymes won't shine Won't shine, won't shine again Sounds of the past Carved on arms and heads and ears An eager to exist through lust for hate and fear Now there's need for love those young boys Keep shouting out And love will do prevail If that song's forgotten now And love will do prevail If that song's forgotten now I've really tried though Can't forget the view and the oldman's shirt Fades away, the rhymes won't shine Won't shine, won't shine again I missed the smell of sea and weed How time got bent Now fades away, the rhymes wont shine Won't shine, won't' shine again Sounds of the past Carved on arms and heads and ears An eager to exist through lust for hate and fear Now there's need for love those young boys Keep shouting out And love will do prevail If that song's forgotten now And love will do prevail If that song's forgotten now
