This Is The Sea Lyrics - This Is The Sea - Waterboys

These things you keep 

you'd better throw them away 

You wanna turn your back 

on your soulless days 

Once you were tethered 

and now you are free 

Once you were tethered 

well now you are free 

That was the river 

this is the sea!

Now if you're feelin' weary 

if you've been alone too long 

Maybe you've been suffering from 

a few too many 

Plans that have gone wrong 

and you're trying to remember 

How fine your life used to be 

running around banging your drum 

Like it's 1973 

well that was the river 

This is the sea! 

wooo! 

Photos 

Now you say you've got trouble 

you say you've got pain 

You say've got nothing left to believe in 

nothing to hold on to 

Nothing to trust 

nothing but chains 

You've been scouring your conscience 

raking through your memories 

Scouring your conscience 

raking through your memories 

But that was the river 

this is the sea yeah! 

Now I can see you wavering 

as you try to decide 

You've got a war in your head 

and it's tearing you up inside 

You're trying to make sense 

of something that you just don't see 

Trying to make sense now 

and you know you once held the key 

But that was the river 

and this is the sea! 

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah! 

Now I hear there's a train 

it's coming on down the line 

It's yours if you hurry 

you've got still enough time 

And you don't need no ticket 

and you don't pay no fee 

No you don't need no ticket 

you don't pay no fee 

Because that was the river 

and this is the sea! 

Behold the sea!
