Ease Your Feet In The Sea Lyrics

Ease you're feet off in the sea my darling it's the place to be
Take your shoes off, curl your toes, I will frame this moment in time
Troubles come and troubles go, the trouble that we used to know
Will stay with us till we get old, will stay with us till
Somebody decides to go, decides to go

Soberly, without regret, I make another sandwich and I fill my face
I know that things have got to you, but what can I do?
Suddenly, without a warning on a pale blue morning
You decide your time is wearing thin a conscious choice
To let yourself go dangling, hovering
It's an emergency, there's no more wait and see

Maybe if I shut my eyes your trouble will be split between us
People come, people go, you're scouring every bodies face
For some small flicker of the truth to what it is that you are going
Through, my boy I left you dry, the signs were clear
That you were not going anywhere, anywhere
Save for a falling down, save for a falling down anywhere, anywhere
Save for a falling down, every thing's going wrong

Later on, as I walked home the plough was showing and orion
I could see the house where you lived
I could see the house where you gave
All your time and sanity to people then you waited for the
People to acknowledge you they spoke in turn
But their eyes would pa*s over you, over you
Who's seeing you at all? Who's seeing you at all?
