1. The sea said goodbye to the shore
so the sun wouldn't notice
The seaweed that wrapped
its arms around you
2. The carpet on my cheek feels
like the fall grass
and I run through the tall trees
with your hand chasing me
3. The books that I keep by my bed
are full of your stories
That I drew up from a little dream of mine
a little nightmare of yours
4. To be asked to take this plunge
to forgive and forget
and be the better man,
to be a better man, to be a better man
R: So love me mother, and love me father,
and love my sister as well
The cat's silhouette as big as a monster
In this concrete jungle with street lights
hanging their heads
5. So make all your last demands
for I will forsake you
and I'll meet your eyes
for the very first time, for the very last
R: So love me mother, and love me father,
and love my sister as well (4x)
6. I met a man today and he smiled back at me
Now there are thoughts like these
that keep me on my feet
that keep me on my feet
