The Sea, The Sea Lyrics

You take my bones and you build a house of your own now
You take my bones and you build a house of your own now
You take my bones and you build a house of your own now
You take my bones and you build a house of your own now

I'll build you a body from this beach
with driftwood for bones and shells for teeth
I'll build you a body from this shore
With flotsam for flesh and jetsam for jaws
Mussels for muscles and oysters for eyes
Seaweed for sinew and a crown
Made of...
Mussels for muscles and oysters for eyes
Seaweed for sinew and a crown

You take my bones and you build a house of your own now
You take my bones and you build a house of your own now
You take my bones and you build a house of your own now
You take my bones and you build a house of your own now

The sea, the sea flows for me
There are serpents lurking in the deep
The sea, the sea flows for me
The sea, the sea flows for me
There are serpents lurking in this deep

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
