Seagull - Ride

Water and sand and the rising beyond my view Alone I stand here it's calling you There is a reason to be here and cry I know the ocean will understand why The feeling the way I do Tasting the salt and the wind cries your name again Sharpened so cold makes me feel I've lost a friend There's a reason that I'll never know I couldn't follow why you had to go And I can't comprehend The wind blows away my fears The ocean will drown all my tears 'Cause I've got to survive though I need your loving here Seagull ... take my love wherever you may fly Seagull ... bury all my feelings for her To a place somewhere in the sky [Guitars] There's a reason that I'll never know I couldn't follow why you had to go And I can't comprehend The wind blows away my fears The ocean willl drown all my tears 'Cause I've got to survive though I need your loving here Seagull ... take my love wherever you may fly Seagull ... bury all my feelings for her To a place somewhere in the sky Oh oh oh Seagull ... take my love wherever you may fly Seagull ... bury all my feelings for her To a place somewhere in the sky

Fly, silly seabird, no dreams can possess you No voices can blame you for sun on your wings My gentle relations have names they must call me For loving the freedom of all flying things My dreams with the seagulls fly Out of reach, out of cry I came to the city and lived like old Crusoe On an island of noise in a cobblestone sea And the beaches were concrete and the stars paid a light bill And the blossoms hung false on their store window trees My dreams with the seagulls fly Out of reach, out of cry Out of the city and down to the seaside To sun on my shoulders and wind in my hair But sandcastles crumble and hunger is human And humans are hungry for worlds they can't share My dreams with the seagulls fly Out of reach, out of cry I call to the seagull who dives to the waters And catches his silver-fine dinner alone Crying, "Where are the footprints that danced on these beaches And the hands that cast wishes that sunk like a stone?" My dreams with the seagulls fly Out of reach, out of cry

Take me for a ride away from the places I have known If I stay around I'll just remember I'm alone There's someone in my memory making me move on What was grey and hazy, is black and white now I have gone Drive me up to London now it's got too dark to see My waiting is over, there's no visitor for me Never let me talk to you, destroy the frozen past It's a different time now things are moving much too fast Float by today, now it's turning to grey Raining my doubts let my thoughts slip away You must have something and what it is I don't know You must have something 'cause I can't let you go

Everything has been leading here I always wanted to be In this room How they come and go And I want to know what they know In this room You and i are dominoes Collapse one at a time In this room And i'm starting to understand What it really means to be In this room This is not a safe place to be You didn't think it was When you lined up to sign your name This is not a safe place to be And no one cares If waving and drowning do look the same So I see them all arrive All of them promising the world In this room Taking the game for all it's got Before it snatches back the lot In this room I'm not exactly a fly on the wall Or anything at all In this room I turn up, turn it on Try to play in tune On this song This is not a safe place to be You didn't think it was When you lined up to sign your name This is not a safe place to be And no one cares If waving and drowning do look the same
