Story Behind The Song

Someone who's missing a friend who was forced to leave the village to get a work. Emigration from the point of view of the people who stay.

Lyrics

Come back my friend
Where are you now
We're joining our hands
Waiting somehow
If what you need is a light
Every night we'll be here
Lightning a fire
Down by the sea
Write us a message
Give us some hope
Send it to the village
Where you still have your home

Your sister Mary
Is missing you too
She just had a baby
Who's got the same eyes as as you
You younger brothers
Are sharing your dream
One day they'll leave us
Just like you did
And since you're away
These are my reasons to live
Day after day
Down by the sea

Cause too many friends
Have lost their life
And so many men
Have left their wife

I hope one day
You'll hear that song
Cause it's not too late
For you to come home
You still have a bed
In every houses here
And you still have a friend
Down by the sea
If what you need is a light
Every night we'll be here
Lightning a fire
Down by the sea

Cause too many friends
Have lost their life
And so many men
Have left their wife
With tears in their eyes
Down by the sea
With tears in their eyes
Down by the sea

We still hope to see you back from abroad
Maybe you're gone but you still belong here
Can you please send a letter we just need to know
How are things for you now that you're living your dream
Do you work in an office wearing a suit
Do you have your own car a small japanese
Do you have many friends do they listen to you
As we used to do here down by the see
