Sangtekst: Lisa Hannigan. Sea Sew. Lille.

He went to sea, for the day
He wanted to know what to say
When he asked what he'd done
In the past, to someone
That he loved, endlessly
Now she's gone, and so is he.

I went to war, every morning
I lost my way, but now i'm following
What you said in my arms
What i read in the charms
That i loved, durably
Now it's dead and gone
And i am free.

oooooh ooooooh oh

I went to sleep, for the daytime
I shut my eyes, to the sunshine
Turned my head away from the noise
Bruise and drip decay of childish toys
That i love, arguably
All our labouring, gone to seed.

oh oh ohhh ooh ooooooh

We went out to play, for the evening
We wanted to hold on to the feeling
And the stretch, in the sun
And the breathlessness as we run
To the beach, endlessly
As the sun creeps up on the sea


ooooh oh ooooohh oh
