《Down By The Sea(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Down By The Sea - The Strawbs

[00:00:47] Maybe you think a lot like me

[00:00:53] Of those who live beside the sea

[00:00:59] Who feel so free so I surmise

[00:01:09] With their comfortable homes and wives

[00:01:15] Who end up drinking tea together

[00:01:21] In the afternoon of their lives

[00:01:40] They build their homes upon the seashore

[00:01:45] The quicksand castles of their dreams

[00:01:51] Yet take no notice of the North wind

[00:01:57] Which tears their building at the seams

[00:02:03] In their dismay and blind confusion

[00:02:08] The weeping widows clutch their shawls

[00:02:14] While as the sea mist ever deepens

[00:02:20] The sailors hear the sirens' calls

[00:02:40] And in the maelstrom sea which follows

[00:02:45] The lifeboat sinks without a trace

[00:02:51] And yet there still remain survivors

[00:02:57] To bear the shame of their disgrace

[00:03:11] Last night I lay in bed

[00:03:14] And held myself

[00:03:19] Trying to remember

[00:03:22] How it once was with you

[00:03:26] How your hands were softer

[00:03:32] Yesterday I found myself

[00:03:35] Staring into space

[00:03:39] Rather like the sailor

[00:03:42] In my own home surroundings

[00:03:46] I'm not sure I know me

[00:03:51] If you were me what would you do

[00:03:55] Don't tell me I don't need you to

[00:03:59] It won't help me now

[00:04:03] If you were me what would you do

[00:04:06] Don't tell me I don't need you to

[00:04:11] It won't help me now
