lyrics

Above Us The Stars (Sea Song)

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 the sky; beneath us, beneath us, beneath us the sea.
