lyrics
When the waves have grown too high
On this coast where I lie
And all that comes out is a sigh
The sun is fading in his grace
He's still here to make a place
All I can see is your face
Many a man have been called by the sea
But many more have died in her company
In her company
Our souls are all we've ever been
We're just a big machine
Or maybe it's life that is a dream
Hopeful that I won't drown
And your waves won't bring me down
To your arms you know I am bound
Many a man have been called by the sea
But many more have died in her company
In her company
On this coast where I lie
And all that comes out is a sigh
The sun is fading in his grace
He's still here to make a place
All I can see is your face
Many a man have been called by the sea
But many more have died in her company
In her company
Our souls are all we've ever been
We're just a big machine
Or maybe it's life that is a dream
Hopeful that I won't drown
And your waves won't bring me down
To your arms you know I am bound
Many a man have been called by the sea
But many more have died in her company
In her company
