The sea said goodbye to the shore
So the sun wouldn't notice
The seaweed that wrapped its
Arms around you

The carpet on my cheek
Feels like a forest
And I run through the tall trees
With your hands chasing me

The books that I keep by my bed
are full of your stories
That I drew up from a little dream of mine
a little nightmare of yours

To be asked to take this plunge
to forgive and forget
And be the better man
to be a better man, to be a better man

So love me mother
And love me father
And love my sister as well

The cat's the silhouette
As big as a monster
In this concrete jungle
With streetlights hanging their heads

So make all your last demands
for I will forsake you
And I'll meet your eyes for the very first time
for the very last

So love me mother
And love me father
And love my sister as well
So love me mother
And love me father
And love my brother as well
So love me mother
And love me father
And love my sister as well
So love me mother
And love me father
And love my brother as well

I met a man today and he smiled back at me
There are thoughts like these that keep me on my feet
that keep me on my feet
