Down By The Sea (Album Version) - The Strawbs[00:00:00]
Maybe you think a lot like me[00:00:47]
Of those who live beside the sea[00:00:53]
Who feel so free so I surmise[00:00:59]
With their comfortable homes and wives[00:01:09]
Who end up drinking tea together[00:01:15]
In the afternoon of their lives [00:01:21]
They build their homes upon the seashore[00:01:40]
The quicksand castles of their dreams[00:01:45]
Yet take no notice of the North wind[00:01:51]
Which tears their building at the seams [00:01:57]
In their dismay and blind confusion[00:02:03]
The weeping widows clutch their shawls[00:02:08]
While as the sea mist ever deepens[00:02:14]
The sailors hear the sirens' calls [00:02:20]
And in the maelstrom sea which follows[00:02:40]
The lifeboat sinks without a trace[00:02:45]
And yet there still remain survivors[00:02:51]
To bear the shame of their disgrace [00:02:57]
Last night I lay in bed[00:03:11]
And held myself[00:03:14]
Trying to remember[00:03:19]
How it once was with you[00:03:22]
How your hands were softer [00:03:26]
Yesterday I found myself[00:03:32]
Staring into space[00:03:35]
Rather like the sailor[00:03:39]
In my own home surroundings[00:03:42]
I'm not sure I know me [00:03:46]
If you were me what would you do[00:03:51]
Don't tell me I don't need you to[00:03:55]
It won't help me now [00:03:59]
If you were me what would you do[00:04:03]
Don't tell me I don't need you to[00:04:06]
It won't help me now[00:04:11]
