The Sea Is Calling - The Temper Trap

At night, when it’s quiet, and the waves come rolling in

The merchant ship’s light paints the dark as we sing hymns

The one who is great, whom by words cannot be seen

When all left is love, there will be no in between

Tucked in the corner of Earth

Naked in light we are birthed

Oh, can you hear the sea calling?

Calling us into the world

A distance from grace, we shall toil with our days

And take on the dirt that has rendered us as slaves

Our mothers will cry, is there something in the sky?

We know we are present here and may never know why

Tucked in the corner of Earth

Placed on the waves' side at birth

Down on the open road

Making our way back home
