From Here You Can Almost See the Sea by David Gray

Come the weekend
And we’ll long gone, baby
Just like the old days
Lettin' the world flow through me

Just a parasite in the line
I'm smokin', killin' the time
How long’s a piece of a twine?
What use is sympathy?

From here you can almost see the sea

If you would hold still
Could make a clean incision
We could sit back
And watch the demolition

Little puppy dog in a box
Somebody’s pickin' the locks
Must want the darn from the socks
Here comes the cavalry

From here you can almost see the sea
Just another fool in a line

I dream of high clouds
Flushed with the light of daybreak
I'm gonna dive in to a water so cold
It makes your bones ache

Fingers, knees and knuckles scraped
All of the rubbish heaped
A piece of cardboard taped
Up where the bedroom window pane used to be

From here you can almost
From here you can almost see the sea
Just another fool in a line
Just another fool in a line

I saw a film once
Where all the air holes froze up
A killer whale swam
Under the blue ice 'til her heart stopped
