The Sea
LIVING ROOM - Morcheeba Lyrics

Flocking to the sea
People are heading towards the vast ocean.

Crowds of people wait for me
The singer is being eagerly awaited by a group of people at the sea.

Sea gulls scavenge
As usual, the seagulls are foraging for food and scraps around the beach.

Steal ice cream
The seagulls are specifically targeting and snatching ice creams from unsuspecting beachgoers.

Worries vanish
Being by the calming sea allows the artist to forget their troubles and stresses.

Within my dream
This peaceful state is like a dream come true for the singer.

I left my soul there
The singer has found a place by the sea where they feel truly at peace and 'whole'.

Down by the sea
This place where they feel so at home is located by the ocean.

I lost control here
The peacefulness of the sea can almost make the artist feel like they're losing themselves to the surroundings.

Living free
Being by the sea brings a sense of freedom and inner peace to the artist's life.

Fishing boats sail past the shore
The singer is watching the local boats glide past the shore, perhaps lost in thought.

No singing may-day any more
The ocean is calm and there are no cries for help, making it all the more serene.

The sun is shining
It's a beautiful, sunny day by the water.

The water's clear
The clearness of the water adds to the already stunning scene.

Just you and I walk along the pier
The singer enjoys simple moments like taking a stroll on the pier with a loved one.

A cool breeze flows but mind the wasp
The artist points out a little warning about a wasp, while also enjoying the comforting breeze.

Some get stung it's worth the cost
Despite the potential downsides, enjoying the sea and its surroundings is worth any risks or consequences.

I'd love to stay
The singer wishes they could stay in this place forever.

The city calls me home
They know they can't stay by the sea forever, they have to return to their city life.

More hassles fuss and lies on the phone
The artist reminds themselves that life is full of challenges and obligations outside of the peace of the sea.

And I, living
The artist reflects on the fact that they are indeed living and enjoying life in this moment.

By the sea
The place where they have found peace and freedom from their troubles is of course, by the sea.
