Apollo (It's Only Sea) Lyrics
When he was alone
He started to pray
On down the road
Was all he could say
Goddess of silver
Listen to me
You rule the highest waves
In a jealous sea
I don't agree that it's really us and them
Its only me you had to tell
Why can't you see that it's really us and them
It's only sea I gotta sail
When all that you look for
Will splinter and break
We blame it on action
We blame it on fate
The landscape of wonder
Of heather and grey
Hidden in sorrow
But we miss it the same
I don't agree that it's really us and them
Its only me you had to tell
Why can't you see that it's really us and them
It's only sea I gotta sail
I only had to go
Cause my heart might tell me so
I left my only home
It's true
I see them everywhere
Those islands in the air
And I'll build another bridge
To you
And it's carried them away
Those voices on the waves
I know I'll have to stay
I do
I feel so far from home
So foreign and alone
And its carried me along
To you
I don't agree that it's really us and them
It's only me you had to tell
Why can't you see that it's really us and them
It's only sea I gotta sail
He started to pray
On down the road
Was all he could say
Goddess of silver
Listen to me
You rule the highest waves
In a jealous sea
Its only me you had to tell
Why can't you see that it's really us and them
It's only sea I gotta sail
Will splinter and break
We blame it on action
We blame it on fate
The landscape of wonder
Of heather and grey
Hidden in sorrow
But we miss it the same
Its only me you had to tell
Why can't you see that it's really us and them
It's only sea I gotta sail
Cause my heart might tell me so
I left my only home
It's true
Those islands in the air
And I'll build another bridge
To you
Those voices on the waves
I know I'll have to stay
I do
So foreign and alone
And its carried me along
To you
It's only me you had to tell
Why can't you see that it's really us and them
It's only sea I gotta sail
