Belle & Sebastian – Ease Your Feet In The Sea

Ease you’re feet off in the sea

My darling it’s the place to be

Take your shoes off curl your toes

I will frame this moment in time

Troubles come and troubles go

The trouble that we used to know

Will stay with us ’til we get old

Will stay with us ’til somebody decides to go

Decides to go

Soberly, without regret, I make another sandwich

And I fill my face, I know that things have got to you

But what can I do?

Suddenly, without a warning

On a pale blue morning

You decide your time is wearing thin

A conscious choice to let yourself go dangling

Hovering

It’s an emergency

There’s no more “wait and see”

Maybe if I shut my eyes

The trouble will be split between us

People come and people go

You’re scouring everybody’s face

For some small flicker of the truth

To what it is that you are going through, my boy

I left you dry

The signs were clear that you were not going anywhere

Anywhere

Save for a falling down

Save for a falling down

Anywhere

Anywhere

Save for a falling down

Everything’s going wrong

Later on, as I walked home

The plough was showing, and orion

I could see the house where you lived

I could see the house where you gave

All your time and sanity to people

Then you waited for the people to acknowledge you

They spoke in turn

But their eyes would pass over you

Over you

Who’s seeing you at all?

Who’s seeing You at all?
