By the Sea

When you're not here I can touch your neck tuning your guitar When you're not here I can water the plant you gave to me When you're not here I can fall asleep re-reading your prayers When you're not here I can count the sheep 'til you lay next to me By the sea By the sea When you're not here I can cry all night, wake up at noon When you're not here I can pass the time while writing this tune When you're not here I can dream of sights beyond you and me When you're not here I can be a child back home by the sea By the sea By the sea When you're not here I can fall in love with someone else When you're not here I can fall in love back with myself By the sea By the sea By the sea
