Home By The Sea

Home by the sea
Home by the sea
Home by the sea
Home by the sea
Home by the sea

Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall Stealing through the dark of night
Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor Checking to the left and the right
Picking up the pieces, putting them away Something doesn’t feel quite right
Help me, someone, let me out of here Welcome to the home by the sea
Pushing from above and below Shadows but no substance in the shape
of men Round and down and sideways, they go Adrift without direction,
eyes that hold despair Then as one they sign and they moan
Help us, someone, let us out of here
Living here so long undisturbed
Dreaming of the time, we were free
So many years ago
Before the time when we first heard
Welcome to the home by the sea

Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down, sit down

As we relive our lives in what we tell you Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
Things that go to make up a life
Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom Waiting for the morning life
Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame Things that go to make up a life
Help us, someone, let us out of here
‚Cause living here so long undisturbed Dreaming of the time we were free
So many years ago
Before the time when we first heard Welcome to the home by the sea

Sit down, sit down
Sit down, sit down, sit down, sit down

As we relive our lives in what we tell you Let us relive our lives in what we tell you

Sit down, sit down, sit down

‚Cause you won’t get away No, with us you will stay For the rest of your days

Sit down

As we relive our lives in what we tell you Let us relive our lives in what we tell you, oh

GENESIS, 1983
