The sea said goodbye to the shore
so the sun wouldn't notice

the seaweed that wrapped

it's arms around you.

The carpet on my cheek

feels like a forest

and I run though the tall trees
with your hand 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 silhouette,
as big as a monster,

in this concrete jungle,
with street lights 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,

now there are thoughts like these
that keep me on my feet,
that keep me on my feet.
