Lyrics

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
