From Here I Can Almost See The Sea Lyrics



 FROM HERE YOU CAN ALMOST SEE THE SEA



Come the weekend 

And we’ll long gone baby 

Just like the old days 

Letting the world flow through me 



Just a parasite in the line 

I'm smoking, killing the time 

How long’s a piece of twine 

What use is sympathy 

From here you can almost see the sea 



If you would hold still 

Could make a clean incision 

We could sit back 

And watch the demolition 



Little puppy dog in a box 

Somebody’s picking the locks 

Must want the darn from the socks 

Here comes the cavalry 

From here you can almost see the sea 



Just another fool in a line 



I dream of high clouds 

Flushed with the light of daybreak 

I'm gonna dive in 

To a water so cold it makes your bones ache 



Fingers, knees and knuckles scraped 

All of the rubbish heaped 

A piece of cardboard taped 

Up where the bedroom window pane used to be 

From here you can almost 

From here you can almost see the sea 



Just another fool in a line 

Just another fool in a line 



I saw a film once 

Where all the airholes froze up 

A killer whale swam 

Under the blue ice 

'til her heart stopped
