This is the sea, The Waterboys

I was alone and clearly need glasses. The lens isn't auto-focus and so I just made an educated guess about the distance. Failed clearly.

 

This Is the Sea, by The Waterboys

 

These things you keep

You'd better throw them away

You wanna turn your back

On your soulless days

Once you were tethered

And now you are free

Once you were tethered

Well now you are free

That was the river

This is the sea!

Now if you're feelin' weary

If you've been alone too long

Maybe you've been suffering from

A few too many

Plans that have gone wrong

And you're trying to remember

How fine your life used to be

Running around banging your drum

Like it's 1973

Well that was the river

This is the sea!

Wooo!

Now you say you've got trouble

You say you've got pain

You say've got nothing left to believe in

Nothing to hold on to

Nothing to trust

Nothing but chains

You're scouring your conscience

Raking through your memories

Scouring your conscience

Raking through your memories

Scouring your conscience

Raking through your memories

But that was the river

This is the sea yeah!

Now I can see you wavering

As you try to decide

You've got a war in your head

And it's tearing you up inside

You're trying to make sense

Of something that you just can't see

Trying to make sense now

And you know you once held the key

But that was the river

And this is the sea!

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Now I hear there's a train

It's coming on down the line

It's yours if you hurry

You've got still enough time

And you don't need no ticket

And you don't pay no fee

No you don't need no ticket

You don't pay no fee

Because that was the river

And this is the sea!

Behold the sea!
