lyrics

Next boat to the sea

Boats on the river
it's a quarter to eight
you gaze into the distance
as you speak

You look as if you're dreaming
I gave a penny for your thoughts
as we walk along the shore
but we keep still

And the stage is just right here
and we're ready to begin
But if I could I took the next boat to the sea
'Cause I need summer, sand and wind
Everytime I am in love
I want the water gently tickling my toes
And taste the salt on your skin

We walk along the edge
between summer and spring
A thousand people in the half light
sound like waves

Waiting for the lights
to illuminate the stage
And I can see your lonely face
in the dark

And the stage is just right here...

I see your face, I hear your voice, and I can smell your hair
I see your face, I hear your voice, I smell your hair

Lights on the river
it's a quarter past ten
There's a shimmer in your eyes
that I know well

You crack another beer
And you light another cigarrette
And you talk about your dreams
and your fears

And the stage is just right here...
