Far too out to Sea Lyrics

Did I make a choice?

I never made a stand

Let time and tide have their way

I followed the footprints

Down to the shoreline

Now I wake up swimming everyday

This was not my vision

When I talked of swimming

But I was still so young and keen

Now I spend all my days

diving for pounds and pence

where the pirates have already been

I feel far too out to sea

all around me shipwrecks lie

within each a dream will waste forever

I was happy on the shore

but someone pushed me

if we’re not alone will we all go down together?

The day turned into

weeks then months and

years brought new weight to bare

Because the further you swim

the deeper the sea

An endless ocean we all share

So, for an ounce of gold

we sell our dreams

But today the deal fell through

The shoreline’s long gone and there’s no turning back

To keep swimming is all I can do

I feel far too out to sea

all around me shipwrecks lie

within each a dream will waste forever

I was happy on the shore

but someone pushed me

if we’re not alone will we all go down together?
