Home by the Sea

Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom
Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
No with us you will stay
Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame

Help us someone, let us out of here
Pushing from above and below
Stealing through the dark of night
Sit down, sit down
Help us someone, let us out of here
Then as one they sign and they moan
Before the time when we first heard
Welcome to the home by the sea
Waiting for the morning life
Something doesn't feel quite right
Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall
Help me someone, let me out of here
Dreaming of the time we were free
Let us relive our lives in what we tell you
Before the time when we first heard
Living here so long undisturbed

Home by the sea
Picking up the pieces, putting them away

Sit down, sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down
Round and down and sideways they go
Checking to the left and the right
Shadows but no substance in the shape of men
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Welcome to the home by the sea
Then out of the dark was suddenly heard
Things those go to make up a life
For the rest of your days, sit down

Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down

Things those go to make up a life
Adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair
Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Coming out the woodwork through the open door
Sit down, sit down, sit down
'Cos living here so long undisturbed
As we relive our lives in what we tell you
Home by the sea

So many years ago
Dreaming of the time we were free
So many years ago
'Cos you won't get away
Welcome to the home by the sea
