You and me standing by the sea
You and me we’re fleeting
You and me wade into the sea
And we wade so far that we’re fading
From the beach they’re all frantically waving
You and me swimming in the sea
You and me burning
You and me singing in the sea
The search lights they lay scheming
They search so hard but nothing
Long yellow light
Long into night
And the clouds hang lazily all day
Sweet brown skin
Cool to my grip
All of the lovers hang lazily and they dream of never leaving (x2)
We’ll my friends we’re leaving
(Bridge)
So I, suggest that maybe you back up, way up
Cause here comes my 500 up
Hey kids, come on well
Promise me that you’ll never grow up
Cause here comes my 500
I suggest that maybe you back up
You and me drowning in the sea
So peacefully sinking
Like capsized whales that land, lay and flail
While down the coast their families are breeding.
With all the nets set buoyed and waiting.
Death’s last nail, comes hammering down the sails
And the winds last gusts are fading
The songs sit stale just waiting to inhale
They listen so hard for breathing
They search so hard...but nothing
Long yellow light
Long into night
And the clouds they hang lazily all day
Sweet brown skin
Cool to my grip
And all of the lovers hang lazily and they dream of never leaving (3X)
We’ll my friends we’re never leaving
