during the days
and weeks and months and years
that i learnt to like it here
i tried to be indifferent
and swallowed everything
i learnt it like
the way you learn at school
sometimes it's just not you
don't say you know
because I don't think you do
life is never done by numbers
that is all i know
believe i will be gone tomorrow
when you get up i will be gone
i beneath the sky and seas
in the soft breeze of a morning at saint ives
because i believe in memories
in the early hours when i catch the light
and I won't wait
i won't write my farewell
you regret you go to hell
but surely never take the dive
so this is it
can't say that i regret
whatever comes i won't look back
and if i die at least i was alive alive
i beneath the sky and seas
in the first light of a morning at saint ives
because i am making memories
in the early hours feeling so alive
better safe is not the answer
that is what i know
rather i will take my chances
take my hat and go
and all because ...
because i care enough to want it all
the hell i will pretend
and i don't care whether i'll rise or fall
if you cannot approve
then this is goodbye
cause I'm never coming back
i beneath the sky and seas
in the first light of a morning at saint ives
because i am making memories
in the early hours knowing i'm alive
