lyrics
Take the water from the sea just enough for you and me
Rest the vessel in the deep, raise a body full to keep
Take the water from the sea
Watch the air run through the trees see its freedom on our knees
Count the oxygen we breathe. Try remember our last breeze
Watch the air run through the trees.
On our way, we can not stay
Bring the torches for the dark, check the radio it works
Finally begin to see the price of everything that’s free
Bring a torch so we can see
Have we packed the books to pray or just leave them where they lay
Throw our valuables away. There is nothing left to say
Close the world up on our way
Ooh heaven bound, homeward drowned, homeward drowned
Place some earth with in a case, leave a sign for us to trace
Moving forward to the day, we will drink again the rain
Of the water from a sea.
On our way, we can not stay
Rest the vessel in the deep, raise a body full to keep
Take the water from the sea
Watch the air run through the trees see its freedom on our knees
Count the oxygen we breathe. Try remember our last breeze
Watch the air run through the trees.
On our way, we can not stay
Bring the torches for the dark, check the radio it works
Finally begin to see the price of everything that’s free
Bring a torch so we can see
Have we packed the books to pray or just leave them where they lay
Throw our valuables away. There is nothing left to say
Close the world up on our way
Ooh heaven bound, homeward drowned, homeward drowned
Place some earth with in a case, leave a sign for us to trace
Moving forward to the day, we will drink again the rain
Of the water from a sea.
On our way, we can not stay
