The sea reflects the winter sun, like green leather
Recycled air, the slow descent from high heaven
The brief escape was not enough to shake the cold
Got on a plane and left her there
But I can hear her calling out to me
Across the sea
I know her name, I know her face
And she is dying to get out of me
But now I know I'm not alone, I know better
The isolation that I felt is no better
A brief escape was not enough to break the mould
Got on a plane but I stayed there
But I can hear her calling out to me
Across the sea
I know her name, I know her face
And she is dying to get out of me
But I can hear her calling out to me
Across the sea
I know her name, I know her face
And she is dying to get out, dying to get out of me
3000 words rattle round my mind
I lack the skill to deliver them
You've got me feeling like the guest of honour
At my own funeral, my own funeral
I couldn't say a word
You took it in turns to be heard
While I crawled back inside
But I can hear her calling out to me
Across the sea
I know her name, I know her face
And she is dying to get out, dying to get out of me
