From Here You Can Almost See the Sea - David Gray

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

Just a parasite in a line 
I'm smoking, killing the time 
How long’s a piece of twine 
What use is sympathy 
From here you can almost see the sea 

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

Little puppy dog in a box 
Somebody’s picking 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 the line 

I dream of high clouds 
Flushed with the light of daybreak 
I'm gonna dive in 
To 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 the line 
Just another fool in the line 

I saw a film once 
Where all the airholes froze up 
A killer whale swam 
Under the blue ice 
Until her heart stopped
