"Girl in the Sea" Lyrics
We pulled up the anchorWaving goodbye to the town
That had cradled me
Two weeks now at sea
Starting to get to me,
I think I'm crazy
Oh, there in the water
Oh, I'm not scared, but I ought to be
All the legends of old
The stories they told
Schemes of the dreamers
Meant nothing to me
Now my disbelief
Lay smashed at my feet
Cause I saw the girl in the sea
Back at the harbor
Still I am swimming with her in my mind
In my Davy Jones locker
I'll keep my secret where no one can find it
Oh, they'd never believe me
Oh, I see her so clearly
All the legends of old
The stories they told
The schemes of the dreamers
Sweet music to me
I'm lost in a dream
My heart wants to sing
All for the girl in the sea
Each day that goes by
Each wave we ride
Seems to remind me
It all was a dream
I guess my memory
Got the best of me this time
Oh, a sound so familiar
Oh, what could it be?
All the legends of old
The stories they told
The schemes of the dreamers
Sweet music to me
I'm lost in a dream
My heart wants to sing
All for the girl in the sea
All the legends of old
The stories they told
The schemes of the dreamers
Dreamers like me
I'm lost in a dream
My heart wants to sing
All for the girl in the sea
Bio
With an incredible debut album under their belts, as well as a pop culture mini-explosion caused by their first video, “Sweep the Leg”, No More Kings are on their way to becoming your newest favorite band. Their music is somewhere between Sufjan Stevens and "The Muppet Show", and it’s always entertaining.Front man Pete Mitchell calls No More Kings’ first album a “thank-you letter to the 80’s,” a perfect theme for someone who claims that he (and his music) were “born in the 70’s, raised in the 80’s, and perfected in the 90’s.”
