Riding Giants movie - This is the Sea lyrics

rate me

Song by The Waterboys<br /><br>

These things you keep<br>

You'd better throw them away<br>

You wanna turn your back<br>

On your soulless days<br>

Once you were tethered<br>

And now you are free<br>

Once you were tethered<br>

Well now you are free<br>

That was the river<br>

This is the sea!<br>

<br>

Now if you're feelin' weary<br>

If you've been alone too long<br>

Maybe you've been suffering from<br>

A few too many<br>

Plans that have gone wrong<br>

And you're trying to remember<br>

How fine your life used to be<br>

Running around banging your drum<br>

Like it's 1973<br>

Well that was the river<br>

This is the sea!<br>

Wooo!<br>

<br>

Now you say you've got trouble<br>

You say you've got pain<br>

You say've got nothing left to believe in<br>

Nothing to hold on to<br>

Nothing to trust<br>

Nothing but chains<br>

You're scouring your conscience<br>

Raking through your memories<br>

Scouring your conscience<br>

Raking through your memories<br>

But that was the river<br>

This is the sea yeah!<br>

<br>

Now i can see you wavering<br>

As you try to decide<br>

You've got a war in your head<br>

And it's tearing you up inside<br>

You're trying to make sense<br>

Of something that you just can't see<br>

Trying to make sense now<br>

And you know you once held the key<br>

But that was the river<br>

And this is the sea!<br>

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah!<br>

<br>

Now i hear there's a train<br>

It's coming on down the line<br>

It's yours if you hurry<br>

You've got still enough time<br>

And you don't need no ticket<br>

And you don't pay no fee<br>

No you don't need no ticket<br>

You don't pay no fee<br>

Because that was the river<br>

And this is the sea!<br>

<br>

Behold the sea!<br>

<br>
