By The Sea Lyrics - Singles - Andrea Flanagan

I've been waiting for a chance to escape 

But those roads never seam to head my way 

The waterways have all been re-routed, 

I'm just a fish trying to swim upstream 

The sharks are circling tighter 

But they don't know that I'm a fighter 

Too bad apathy is running rampant 

People all stand there just to see what will happen 

CHORUS: 

So I played for the pelicans 

and they danced in the air for me 

While the seals nearby clapped along 

and barked out of key 

the waves crashed a steady rythm 

like natures timpani 

and I sang for the last time 

by the sea 

A dolphin jumped just to say hello 

Then it jumped again just so I'd know 

Im not alone, no I'm not alone 

Shells are crackling under the sun 

Like snappers under my feet when I run 

Just another part to add to Poseidon's symphony
