Flocking to the sea Crowds of people wait for me Seagulls scavenge, steal ice-cream Worries vanish within my dream I left my soul there, down by the sea I lost control here, livin' free I left my soul there, down by the sea I lost control here, livin' free Fishing boats sail past the shore No singing mayday any more The sun is shining, the water's clear Just you and I walk along the pier I left my soul there, down by the sea I lost control here, livin' free I left my soul there, down by the sea I lost control here, livin' free A cool breeze flows but mind the wasp Some get stung, it's worth the cost I'd love to stay, the city calls me home More hassles, fuss and lies on the phone I left my soul there, down by the sea I lost control here, livin' free I left my soul there, down by the sea I lost control here, livin' free I left my soul there, down by the sea I lost control here, livin' free I left my soul there, down by the sea I lost control here, livin' Livin' And I livin' By the sea
