lyrics

Just the sea

It’s the sea that’s tired – it’s the sea
It’s one far cry and a hush of rocks
A crush of words, a sprain, a spree

It’s the branch that’s broken – the branch
And it’s the pavement that cracks
Not your back and not your strength
Not your heart and not our pacts

It’s just the sea, baby,
It ain’t you and it ain’t me
We’re still as young as before
Still as right and still as raw
Still as bold and still
As two moving rivers

How do we speak of this North Pole of ours?
How do we melt the ice caps?
And how do we trek back to our warmer hours?
How do we trek back?

It’s a drum, baby, it’s a drum
This muffled beating that shakes our sun
The sound in the back of your head
Telling you to go ahead and leave

Those sighs you heave, baby, they’re just waves
The way they wash over our days
And leave us parched for things to say
Is nothing to worry you

It’s just the sea, baby,
It ain’t you and it ain’t me
We’re still as young as before
Still as right and still as raw
Still as bold and still
As two moving rivers

How do we speak of this North Pole of ours?
How do we melt the ice caps?
And how do we trek back to our warmer hours?
How do we trek back?
