JACK: Drop your mind, and subjects to time,
washed away by the water at your feet.
Earth and sky, and heaven aside
let 'em be, stay with me, by the sea.
Break away tomorrow and yesterday
today is all that we need.
and the sun is falling fast
I know nothing ever lasts,
but for now, we can be, by the sea
Get off the one track, I ain't letting you go back
to telephones and number on the wall.
take time it's clear that even you need you here
if in your absence, mountains crumble, let 'em fall
Break away tomorrow and yesterday
today is all that we need.
and the sun is falling fast
I know nothing ever lasts,
but for now, we can be, by the sea.
