The Sea - Corinne Bailey Rae

I never knew you were standing on this shore

It says everything, explains everything

And then from then on it couldn’t be just like before

It says everything, changes everything

So don’t just stand there

Wishing life would fade away

Don’t you go around with anyone

That makes you feel ashamed

Goodbye paradise

I hope that someday you could try

Goodbye, you’re so changed that you’d give it all away

Goodbye, goodbye

Saw your face in a faded light

Said everything, explained everything

In home saw you dazed and it comes to you and I

You did everything, blamed anything

But don’t you cut those ribbons

To take away the pain

Don’t you go around with that same old crowd

That makes you feel ashamed

Goodbye paradise

I hope there’s something you could try

Goodbye but you’re so changed that you give it all away

Goodbye, goodbye paradise

The sea, the majestic sea

Breaks everything, crushes everything

Cleans everything, takes everything from me
