Belle and Sebastian
Sea of Sorrow
[Verse 1]
When I see the faraway smiling faces
When I feel the subtle pull of your graces
When the sun is falling on magic places
You're giving me hints of ecstasy
[Verse 2]
Every other day I'm frozen with worry
Looking for a way to shed my own body
But I know it's just like a jacket
A layer of skin
[Pre-Chorus]
Though we wreck ourselves
On the rocks that never even existed
We just keep on going with the hate
We're going to have to resist it
[Chorus 1]
Swimming in a sea of sorrow
Heading for a world of promise
Swimming in a sea of sorrow
Heading for a world of promise
[Verse 3]
Every other day, I'm thinking about you
Praying and beseeching you like a guru
Heaven will protect and hold you in bliss, I'm convinced of this
You are all things to all people
[Verse 4]
Words can be a vicious vessel of torment
Words can be the simple comfort of moments
Sending you the honest words that I'm storing
Will stay with you in the night, in the morning
[Pre-Chorus]
Though we wreck ourselves
On the rocks that never even existed
We just keep on going with the hate
We're going to have to resist it
[Chorus 2]
Swimming in a sea of comfort
Heading for a sea of sorrow
Swimming in a sea of comfort
Heading for a sea of sorrow
[Pre-Chorus]
Though we wreck ourselves
On the rocks that never even existed
We just keep on going with the hate
We're going to have to resist it
[Chorus 1]
Swimming in a sea of sorrow
Heading for a world of promise
Swimming in a sea of sorrow
Heading for a world of promise
[Chorus 3]
Swimming in a sea of sorrow
Heading for a world of comfort
Swimming in a sea of sorrow
Heading to a world of comfort
