Isobel Anderson - Seaside Suicide

Run away
And never look back
Take your pain
And leave it in the past
Re-connect
Only when there's nothing left
Now's your time to feel at your best
Now's your time to feel selfish

A home in stone
A memory across the waves
And piece by piece
The tide washes it away
Beneath the foam
There's a face staring back
Telling me there is no place like home
Because there never really was a home

I keep dragging myself back here
To the cove at Zenor
To the beach in Devon
Back to the amusement archades
On Brighton's grand parade
Till I've lost my way

And in the dark
There's a hand holding mine
Across my face
A kiss to say it's fine
I feel a tear
Rolling down my face
It must have touched the lips that once were there
And i look out and see nobody's there

Home is hidden in the sand dunes
It's hidden in the pebbles
That sing beneth the waves
The ripples sound like guitar strings
The foam like tiny voices
Begging me to stay

The sea, the sea it takes me
And drags me down in it's cold arms
I drown and it frees me
A sacrifice to your love

I never came back
No I never came back
No I never, I never, I never
I never came back

Oh, the sea, the sea it takes me
And drags me down in it's cold arms
I drown and it frees me
A sacrifice to your love
