Written about life’s small moments, seizing, valuing them, and waiting for the good times to come back. But sometimes feeling you just want to run away...

lyrics

Beside the sea (over my head) (Gray)
Standing outside, looking into my bleeding heart
I cannot cry, we just seem too far apart.
Where can I be, I can’t touch you now,
It’s hard to see, and I don’t know, really how

How do we live, here now in this lockdown time?, How can we stay like this, just feel like running away? I’m over my head, I’m over my head (darling), Over my head, you’re turning me upside down.

Standing inside, now all I want is to cross that sea.
This floating ground, seems the only thing between you and me,
I stare at the sky, see the dawn come a-flashing blue.
Just want to sing and dance, I’m so much now in love with you.

How do we live, here now in this lockdown time?, How can we stay like this, just feel like running away? I’m over my head, I’m over my head (darling), Over my head, you’re turning me upside down.
Instrumental harmonica

It hardly makes sense, but this I know to be true,
The sea sings your song, a perfect moment alone with you.
I need to see; I need to hold you close to me
But I’m not afraid, to wait for you beside the sea.

How do we live, here now in this lockdown time?, How can we stay like this, just feel like running away? I’m over my head, I’m over my head (darling), Over my head, you’re turning me upside down.

Like in a dream, I watched you shine like a star,
A midsummer scene, nothing compares with who you are
We stood on the shore, mornings come, and you’ve got to go
Knowing you has been more than you will ever know.

How do we live, here now in this lockdown time?, How can we stay like this, just feel like running away?
I’m over my head, I’m over my head (darling), Over my head, you’re turning me upside down.
Over my head…. Over my head ..
