Lyrics

(Verse)
I thought I would see you
At the place where we first kissed.
Now I?m here,
And you?re nowhere near.
Somehow, I missed you passing by.

(Verse)
Waves rush to my body
As the sand runs through my feet.
I can?t stay
In a cloistered bay
If you don?t meet me.

(Chorus)
I stand alone
By the sea,
Breathing misty air.
I stand alone
By the sea,
Thinking you are there?
I stand alone
By the sea.

(Verse)
Once I thought I saw you,
But you waved and turned around.
I don?t know
Why you had to go.
I haven?t found another love.

(Verse)
Seagulls fly above me,
As the turtles leave their nest.
Why can?t they
Wait another day?
There?s no more rest here.

(Chorus)
I wait alone
By the sea,
Watching sails afar.
I wait alone
By the sea,
Wond?ring where you are?
I wait alone
By the sea.

(Bridge)
Clouds.
I see clouds.
Breeze.
Feel the breeze.
The smell of salt is strong.
Moving water plays a song,
And I listen.

(Chorus)
I feel a calm
By the sea,
As I often do.
I feel a calm
By the sea,
When I think of you?
I feel a calm
By the sea.

(Verse)
Dusk sprays on the water
With a whispered glow of light.
Evening sky.
Time to say goodbye
And let the night erase the day.

(Chorus)
I leave the shore
By the sea,
Breathing misty air.
I leave the shore
By the sea,
Knowing you?re not there.
I leave the shore.
I?ve left before,
But I won?t return for more,
By the sea.
By the sea.
By the sea.
By the sea.
