This Is The Sea Lyrics

(Mike Scott)

these things you keep

you better throw the away

turn your back

on your soulless days

once you were tethered

now you are free

once you were tethered

now you are free

that was the river

this is the sea

if yuo're feelin' weary

or you been alone too long

or maybe you been sufferin' from

a few too many

plans that have gone wrong

and you're tryin' to remember

how fine your life used to be

runnin' around banging your drum

like it's 1973

well that was the river

this is the sea

now you say you got trouble

you say you got pain

you say you got nothin' left to believe in

nothin' to hold on to

nothin' but chains

you been scourin' your conscience

and rakin' through your memories

you been scourin' your conscience

and rakin' through your memories

but that was the river

this is the sea

Now I can see you wavering

as you try to decide

you got a war in your head

and it's tearin' you up inside

you're tryin' to make sense

of something that you just don't see

you're tryin' to make sense now

and you know that you once held the key

but that was the river...

this is the sea

Now I hear there's a train

it's comin' down the line

it's yours if you hurry

you got still enough time

you don't need no ticket

and you don't pay no fee

you don't need no ticket

and you don't pay no fee

that was the river

this is the sea
