This Is The Sea Lyrics

These things you keep

you better throw them away

you want to turn your back

on your souless 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

now if you are feeling weary 

if you've been alone too long

or maybe you been suffering from 

a few too many plans that have gone wrong

and you're tryin' to remember 

how fine your life used to be

running around banging your drum

like it's ninteeen seventy three

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' to trust

nothin' but chains

you've been scouring your conscience

raking through your memory

scouring your conscience

raking through your memory

that was the river

this is the sea

now i can see you're waverin'

as you try to decide

you've got a war in your head

and it's tearing you up inside

you're tryin' to make sense

of something that you just don't see

tryin' to make sense now

and you know that you once held the key

but that was the river

and this is the sea

now here is a train

it's comin' on down the line

you realise if you hurry

you got still enough time

and you don't need no tiket

and you dont pay no fee

and you don't need no ticket

and you dont pay no fee

because that was the river

and this is the sea

that was the river 

this is the sea

that was the river

this is the sea

the river, the river, the river, the river

the river, the river, the river

and this is the sea

sea mmmmmm sea

Behold The Sea
