In breakwater city babe
You can never climb high enough
To be seen to be heard, you could shout at the world
And still no one would hear
And the stores they close at around eight or nine
And how now are you gonna live your life
What have you to show except
The promises you never kept
I said baby in breakwater city babe
It's a long way down

All along the river mist
And the morning chill
You just come to learn, and feel how they turn as the
The blood in the water runs
Their faces conceal and hide the fact
That as long as their pride remains intact
That the unity fades out through the Moors
Cuz it no longer lies where was once before
I said baby in breakwater city babe
Its a long way down

Down to the highest of depths and hellish regret
Where the good and the bad and don't get what they deserve
They never learn
That in breakwater city
It's a long way down
Hold out a pleading hand
They just turn away
So you carve out a piece of symphonic release
And add a few lines that just happen to rhyme
Illustrate the rise or fall of a heart
And even how you played your part
To a siren thats calling one thousand degrees
And music thats taking you across the sea
Baby in breakwater city
It's a long way down
Oh
In breakwater city babe
