To The Sea

To the Sea
Ray LaMontagne
I'll be waiting in the car
Don't forget the camera
If you wouldn't mind, could you find my yellow shoes
I think they're under the stairs

Through the hills and country side
Waving at the passers by
There's old Tom in a coat and tie
Looking every ounce the prince
His bike up against the fence

We drove to the sea
Where water is green
And the clouds and the blue
Through shadows of me and you
The shells that we found in the sand
The moment we held in our hands
You were making me laugh, it was easier then
When
But then again
I'll be dozing over there
Cozy in my folding chair
Watching seabirds in the air
As they circle the Sun
Seabirds they suffer no one

We drove to the sea
Where water is green
And the clouds and the blue
Through shadows of me and you
The shells that we found in the sand
The moment we held in our hands
You were making me smile, it was easier then
When
But then again

All of the questions in my head
I'll paint them red
Put them to bed
All of the voices in my mind
Hard and unkind
Leave them behind (leave them behind)
As we drove to the sea
And water is green

And the clouds and the blue
Through shadows of me and you
The shells that we found in the sand
The moment we held in our hands
You were making me laugh
It was easier then
When
But then again
I'll be waiting in the car
Don't forget the camera
If you wouldn't mind, could you find my yellow shoes
I think they're under the stairs
