Alone On The Sea Lyrics
Coming home from a month away
To empty cabinets and bed
Well if there's love in this house again
Then let the lights shine through the windows
And onto my head
Now I stay in the city
Walk the street, search for something
Something calls and its leaving
I am dreaming of a girl, she is not really there
And all I did see, the buildings they burn so bright
I feel sorry for everything
I'll watch the homeless woman sleep
Just like the dimes that I gave her
I am scattered and I will roll away
I dream of the other side
Coming home to see your mother
Best friends who mean all the world
But can't understand the ground that I walk on
And all I did see, the buildings they burn so bright
Some cry for the towers
I'll cry for the others
Who wait here in a jail cell
Lonely like a sailor, on the sea
Alone on the sea
I am lonely like a sailor, alone on the sea
And all I did see, the buildings they burn so bright
To empty cabinets and bed
Well if there's love in this house again
Then let the lights shine through the windows
And onto my head
Walk the street, search for something
Something calls and its leaving
I am dreaming of a girl, she is not really there
I'll watch the homeless woman sleep
Just like the dimes that I gave her
I am scattered and I will roll away
Coming home to see your mother
Best friends who mean all the world
But can't understand the ground that I walk on
I'll cry for the others
Who wait here in a jail cell
Lonely like a sailor, on the sea
Alone on the sea
I am lonely like a sailor, alone on the sea

this song is so amazing...this band live is amazing...
Love it. Fave lines: "I feel sorry for everything/I'll watch the homeless woman sleep/Just like the dimes that I gave her/I am scattered and I will roll away." About feeling lonely or perhaps being in an unfamiliar place on your own.
Life on the road is tough. Sigh. A good song about being away. Good stuff.
