David Gray - 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
