Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If looking to the sea

Crowds of people wait for me

Seagulls scavenge, steal ice cream

The worries vanish within my dreams

[Verse 2]

I left my soul there

Down by the sea

I lost control here

Livin' free

I left my soul there

Down by the sea

I lost control here

Livin' free

[Verse 3]

Fishin' boats sail past the shore

No singin' May Day anymore

The sun is shinin', the water's clear

Just you and I go walk along the pier

[Verse 4]

I left my soul there

Down by the sea

I lost control here

Livin' free

I left my soul there

Down by the sea

I lost control here

Livin' free

[Verse 5]

A cool breeze flows but mind the wasp

Some get stung, it's worth the cost

I'd love to stay, the city calls me home

More hassles, fuss and lies on the floor

[Verse 6]

I left my soul there

Down by the sea

I lost control here

Livin' free

I left my soul there

Down by the sea

I lost control here

Livin' free

[Verse 7]

I left my soul there

Down by the sea

I lost control here

Livin' free

I left my soul there

Down by the sea

I lost control here

Livin'

Livin'

And I'm livin'

By the sea
