This Is the Sea

These things you keep You'd better throw them away You wanna turn your back On your soulless days Once you were tethered And now you are free Yes, once you were tethered Well now you are free That was the river And this is the sea And that was the river And this is the sea Now if you're feelin' weary If you've been alone too long Maybe you've been suffering from A few too many Plans that have gone wrong And you're trying to remember How fine your life used to bе Running around banging your drum Like it's 1973 Well that was the rivеr And this is the sea Yeah, that was the river And this is the sea Now you say you've got trouble You say you've got pain You say've got nothing left to believe in Nothing to hold on to Nothing to trust Nothing but chains You're scouring your conscience Raking through your memories Yes, you're scouring your conscience Raking through your memories But that was the river And this is the sea Yes, that was the river And this is the sea Now I can see your wavering As you try to decide You've got a war in your head And it's tearing you up inside You're trying to make sense Of something that you just don't see Trying to make sense now And you know you once held the key But that was the river And this is the sea That was the river And this is the sea Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah Now I hear there's a train It's coming on down the line It's yours if you hurry You've got still enough time And you don't need no ticket And you don't pay no fee I said you don't need no ticket You don't pay no fee Because that was the river And this is the sea That was the river And this is the sea That was the river And this is the sea That was the river And this is the sea This is the sea This is the sea I said, this is the sea That was the river And this is the sea Oh That was the river Yes, and this is the sea This is the sea This is the sea This is the sea That was the river And this is the sea Behold the sea
