David Gray From Here You Can Almost See The Sea Lyrics

From Here You Can Almost See The Sea Lyrics

Come the weekend

And we'll long gone, baby

Just like the old days

Lettin' the world flow through me



Just a parasite in the line

I'm smokin', killin' the time

How long's a piece of a 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 pickin' 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 air holes froze up

A killer whale swam

Under the blue ice 'til her heart stopped
