Claimed By The Sea Lyrics - Singles - French For Rabbits

There are cockles and broken glass spread across the floor 

The door is wide open and the sand made drifts all down the hall 

Broken panes in the window reflected light in from the sky 

This is no longer my house, it has been claimed by the sea 

A starfish is dying down by the laundry, 

Ironically the washing machine is half full of seawater 

washed in by the waves at night, leaving a salty snail-like trail behind. 

This is no longer my house, 

It has been claimed by the sea. 

Claimed by the sea, 

and it was always going to be, 

Claimed by the sea.... 

I've planted a garden in assorted pots 

The flowers are drooping and waterlogged 

Seaweed lay in wreaths like it was Christmas time, 

A Christmas in a house that wasn't mine 

Been claimed by the sea, 

and it was always going to be, 

Claimed by the sea....
