Adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair
So many years ago
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Let us relive our lives in what we tell you
Shadows but no substance in the shape of men
Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
Stealing through the dark of night
Welcome to the home by the sea
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down, sit down
Something doesn't feel quite right
Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall
Picking up the pieces, putting them away
Round and down and sideways they go
'Cos living here so long undisturbed
No with us you will stay
'Cos you won't get away
Then as one they sign and they moan
Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor
Then out of the dark was suddenly heard
Help us someone, let us out of here
Before the time when we first heard
Things those go to make up a life
Sit down, sit down
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Sit down, sit down, sit down
Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom
Dreaming of the time we were free
Checking to the left and the right
Living here so long undisturbed
Help us someone, let us out of here
Welcome to the home by the sea
Pushing from above and below
Home by the sea
For the rest of your days, sit down
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Coming out the woodwork through the open door
Before the time when we first heard
Waiting for the morning life
So many years ago
Sit down, sit down
Help me someone, let me out of here
Things those go to make up a life
Dreaming of the time we were free
Welcome to the home by the sea
Home by the sea
Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame
