I never knew you were standing on the shore,
|
It says everything,
|
Explains everything.
|
That from then on it couldn't be just like before,
|
it says everything,
|
Changes everything.
|
So don't you 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,
|
They make 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 paradise
|
|
The sea,
|
The majestic sea,
|
Breaks everything,
|
Crushes everything,
|
Cleans everything,
|
Takes everything
|
From me
|

The Sea
