The Sea Lyrics

Sandy Denny The Sea

Do I ever wonder? You don't know, you'll never follow
And I'll never show, do you see the water and watch it flow
And float an empty shell? And you think that I'm hiding from the island
You've a fault in your senses, can you feel it now?

Time, what is that? I've no time to care, I've lived for a long
While nearly everywhere, you will be taken, everyone
You ladies and you gentlemen, fall and listen with your ears
Upon the paving stone, is that what you hear? The coming of the sea

Sea flows under your doors in London town and all your defenses
Are all broken down, you laugh at me on funny days
But mine's the slight of hand, don't you know I am a joker
A deceiver and I'm waiting for the land?
