I saw the sea come in
I saw your good old friend
He walked right passed
I’ll never ask,
I’ll never ask again.
I saw the sea come in
I saw your good old friend
He walked right passed
I’ll never ask,
I’ll never ask again.
I love the way you dance
We can work it all out
Don’t you miss your chance
The pain will all grow out
I heard your good old word
I heard the things you said
They shuffled in
Ask me to sin, Ask me to sin in red.
I hear your good old word
and I also heard the things you said
They shuffled in
Auf wiedersehen, Auf wiedersehen,
Goodnight.
I love the way you dance
We can work it all out
Don’t you miss your chance
The pain will all grow out
I didn’t go to see the city
I went to see it around you
We can laugh in hell together
The devil will find you too
Nose to nose
Eyes on the clouds
This is what I said
We never ever end
Nose to nose
Eyes on the clouds
This is what I said
We never ever end
I saw the sea come in
I saw your good old friend
He walked right passed
I’ll never ask, I’ll never ask again.

There’s something about this song. His voice, the music, the lyrics… It feels like… slow motion of diving into the sky. Whenever I feel depressed, I replay this song again and again and again and again and again. In the loop forever until it’s really down there – when things get bad, worse… making it worst is a relief – coz you know it must go up and get better. There are many interpretation of this song. Not sure 100% I get the meaning, but I get the feeling. That’s enough for me.
