[Strophe 1] Flocking to the sea Crowds of people wait for me Sea gulls scavenge Steal ice cream Worries vanish Within my dream [Chorus][x2] I left my soul there Down by the sea I lost control here Living free [Strophe 2] Fishing boats sail past the shore No singing may-day any more The sun is shining The Water's clear Just you and I walk along the pier
[Chorus][x2] [Strophe 3] A cool breeze flows but mind the wasp Some get stung it's worth the cost I'd love to stay The city calls me home More ha**les fuss and lies on the phone [Chorus][x3] [Outro] I left my soul there Down by the sea I lost control with you And living, living And I, living, by the sea
