Luka Bloom – This Is The Sea lyrics

These things you keep
You better throw them away
You gotta turn your back
On your soulless days
Once you were tethered
And now you are free
Once you were tethered
And now you are free
That was the river
This is the sea

If you're feelin' weary
You've been alone too long
Or maybe you've been sufferin' from
A few too many plans
That have gone wrong
You're tryin' to remember
How fine your life used to be
You're runnin' around
Banging your drums
Like it's nineteen seventy three
That was the river
This is the sea

You say you've got troubles
You say you've got pain
You say you've nothin' left to believe in
You've nothin' left to hold onto
You've got nothin' to trust
You've got nothin' but chains
You've been scourin' your conscience
Rakin' through your memories
Scourin' your conscience
Rakin' through your memories
That was the river
This is the sea

I can see you wavering
You're tryin' to decide
There's a war in your head now
It's tearin' you up inside
You're tryin' to make sense
Of something you just can't see
You're tryin' to make sense now
You know you once held the key
That was the river
This is the sea

River
River
River
River...

I hear there's a train
Comin' down the line
It's yours if you hurry
You still got some time
You don't need no ticket
You don't pay no fee
You don't need no ticket
You don't pay no fee
That was the river
This is the sea
That was the river
This is the sea

That was the river
This is the sea
That was the river
Behold the sea
