Foreign Waters Lyrics

All of these houses,
Are changing their colours just for us,
Aren’t we blessed?
And all of these people,
Are changing their colours just for us,
Aren’t we blessed?

Rosie, take me home,
The alphabet is wrong,
And I’ve started changing shape,
Started changing shape,
Rosie, take me home,
The alphabet is wrong,
And I’ve started changing shape,
Started

As I stand at the dusty train station,
Foreign waters keep us apart,
No, you can’t come in right now,
It’s far too quiet

Rosie, take me home,
The alphabet is wrong,
And I’ve started changing shape,
Started

As all greatness stands firm,
I’ll watch you all,
But I won’t come in,
I’ll leave you alone,
As all greatness stands firm,
I’ll watch you all,
But I won’t come in,
I’ll leave you alone,
As all greatness stands firm,
I’ll watch you all,
But I won’t come in,
I’ll leave you alone

As I stand at the dusty train station,
Foreign waters keep us apart,
No, you can’t come in right now,
It’s far too quiet,
As I stand at the dusty train station,
Foreign waters keep us apart,
No, you can’t come in right now,
It’s far too quiet,
As I stand at the dusty train station,
Foreign waters keep us apart,
No, you can’t come in right now,
It’s far too quiet,

As I stand at the dusty train station,
Foreign waters keep us apart,
No, you can’t come in right now,
It’s far too quiet

------------

I am an island lost at sea,
If you’re going to find her,
You’ll surely pass me,
And I will point you north,
And I will point you north

This chequered carpet holds in my thoughts,
Thought I could phone you and unload the lot,
But you’re never home,
No you’re never home
And this old blackboard no longer writes,
All of the things I’m feeling inside,
‘Cause it’s never washed,
No it’s never washed

So plug me in and go,
Plug me in and go,
Plug me in and go,
Plug me in and go,
Plug me in and go,
Plug me in and go,
Plug me in and go,
Plug me and go

I am an island lost at sea,
If you’re going to find her,
You’ll surely pass me,
And I will point you north,
And I will point you north

So plug me in and go,
Plug me in and go,
Plug me in and go,
Plug me in and go,
Plug me in and go,
Plug me in and go,
Plug me in and go,
Plug me in and go

All of these houses, 
Are changing their colours just for us, 
Aren’t we blessed?
And all of these people, 
Are changing their colours just for us, 
Aren’t we blessed?

Rosie, take me home, 
The alphabet is wrong, 
And I’ve started changing shape, 
Started changing shape, 
Rosie, take me home, 
The alphabet is wrong, 
And I’ve started changing shape,

As I stand at the dusty train station, 
Foreign waters keep us apart, 
No, you can’t come in right now, 
It’s far too quiet

Rosie, take me home,

I’ll watch you all,

As all greatness stands firm, 
I’ll watch you all, 
But I won’t come in, 
I’ll leave you alone, 
As all greatness stands firm, 
I’ll watch you all, 
But I won’t come in,

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.
