Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Down by the sea
I found your hidden treasure
Just you and me
We overdosed on pleasure
[Verse 2]
Yonnies in the wind
We're ruggin' up for winter
Putting out the bins
In cold and windy weather
[Verse 3]
Down by the docks
Live all the silent sea ships
Crates are stored on blocks
Where now only the rats live
[Verse 4]
Sail me down the river
Till we reach the shore
Dive into the center
Eating up the core
[Verse 5]
Down on the beach
Saluting Captain Benbow
Always out of reach
[Verse 6]
It's quiet when the tide's low
[Verse 7]
Climbin' up the cliffs
You can see for miles far
The boat that ran adrift
Trivial
Is sitting on the sandbar
[Verse 8]
Laughin' at the waves
The storm, the river mouth
The ice is on the move now
Creeping north and south
[Verse 9]
Down by the sea
I found your hidden treasure
Just for you and me
We overdosed on pleasure
[Verse 10]
Listenin' to your heart
Screamin' at the sky
Can't you feel a tremor?
Don't you wonder why?
