The Sea

I never knew you were standing on the shore
It says everything
Explains everything
And then, from then on, it couldn't be just like before
It says everything
Changes everything

So don't just stand there
Wishing your life would fade away
And don't you go 'round with anyone
Who makes you feel ashamed

Goodbye, paradise
I hope there's something you could try
Goodbye, you're so changed that you'd give it all away
Goodbye, goodbye

I saw your face in the faded light
Said everything
Explained everything
It haunts all your days and it comes to you at night
You did everything
Blame anything

But don't you cut those ribbons
To take away the pain
And don't you go 'round with that same old crowd
That make you feel ashamed

Goodbye, paradise
I hope there's something you could try
Goodbye, but you're so changed that you'd give it all away
Goodbye, goodbye, paradise

The sea
The majestic sea
Breaks everything
Crushes everything
Cleans everything
Takes everything
From me
