lyrics

Look out across the ocean, look out
Those sailing ships will take you anywhere you want to go
Past the horizon, beyond the skyline, so why stay? You don’t know

Breathe in, fill your lungs up, breathe in
That salty air come from afar and via Timbuktu
Let yourself taste it – go on and chase it – it’s calling out to you

You would swim a thousand miles just to see her face
But there’s no knowing where on this earth she’ll be
And so, for now, your heart remains shackled to this place
And you’ll be here, right here
Waiting by the sea, the sea
Waiting by the sea, the sea

Look up to that blue sky, look up
You wouldn’t know that yesterday the clouds were rolling in
Right now there’s sunshine, it could last for a lifetime, if you just let it in

You would swim a thousand miles just to see her face
But there’s no knowing where on this earth she’ll be
And so, for now, your heart remains shackled to this place
And you’ll be here, right here
Waiting by the sea, the sea
Waiting by the sea, the sea
Waiting by the sea, the sea
Waiting by the sea, the sea
