Flocking to the sea Crowds of people wait for me Sea gulls scavenge Steal ice cream Worries vanish Within my dream
I left my soul there Down by the sea I lost control here Living free
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
I left my soul there Down by the sea I lost control here Living free
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 hassles, fuss and lies on the phone
I left my soul there Down by the sea I lost control there Living free
I left my soul there Down by the sea I lost control with you And living, living And I, living, by the sea

~~I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past~~
Well, it's not far down to paradise At least it's not for me And if the wind is right You can sail away and find tranquility Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see Believe me
It's not far to never-never land No reason to pretend And if the wind is right You can find the joy of innocence again Oh, the canvas can do miracles Yust you wait and see Believe me
Sailing takes me away To where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free
Fantasy, it gets the best of me When I'm sailing All caught up in the reverie Every word is a symphony Won't you believe me
Sailing takes me away To where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free
[Instrumental Interlude]
Well it's not far back to sanity At least it's not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away and find serenity Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see Believe me
Sailing takes me away To where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free

The Sarita thread gave me an idea...can you think of songs to do with the sea?
Here are two from me:
Rod Stewart - Sailing
I am sailing, I am sailing, Home again cross the sea. I am sailing, stormy waters, To be near you, to be free.
I am flying, I am flying, Like a bird cross the sky. I am flying, passing high clouds, To be with you, to be free.
Can you hear me, can you hear me Thro the dark night, far away, I am dying, forever trying, To be with you, who can say.
Can you hear me, can you hear me, Thro the dark night far away. I am dying, forever trying, To be with you, who can say.
We are sailing, we are sailing, Home again cross the sea. We are sailing stormy waters, To be near you, to be free.
Oh lord, to be near you, to be free. Oh lord, to be near you, to be free, Oh lord.
Bobby Darin - Beyond the sea
Somewhere beyond the sea Somewhere waiting for me My lover stands on golden sands And watches the ships that go sailing
Somewhere beyond the sea She's there watching for me If I could fly like birds on high Then straight to her arms I'd go sailing
It's far beyond the stars It's near beyond the moon I know beyond a doubt My heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore We'll kiss just like before Happy we will be beyond the sea And never again I'll go sailing
I know beyond a doubt My heart will lead me there soon We'll meet, I know we'll meet beyond the shore We'll kiss just as before Happy we will be beyond the sea And never again I'll go sailing
No more sailing So long, sailing, sailing, no more sailing
