lyrics

Sea Song (Above Us The Stars)

I’m worn out by this city of buildings monstrous grey
I’m weary of the subways I yearn to get away
I’m broken by the hating voices that bark and bray
I need to leave this city to feel the ocean’s spray.

Chorus
Let’s ride to the river: a ship will set us free
Above us the stars: beneath us, beneath us, beneath us the sea.

I’m tired of the people who tell you how to live
Who kill the love inside you no matter how much you give
I want to see the night sky lost to this city’s glare
I want to kiss your warm lips as the wind blows back your hair.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

We’ll leave behind the faces and places we have known
And work again for no man nor call a house a home
Let’s leave behind the dark clouds and cast away our fears
We’ll leave behind this city and sail away our years.

Chorus

Above us beneath us, beneath us, beneath us the sea.
