The sea is calling - acoustic by The Temper Trap Lyrics
At night
When it's quiet
And the waves come rolling in
The merchant ships light
Paints the dark
As we sing hymns
To one who is great
Whom by words cannot be seen
When all left is love
There will be no in between
Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into this world
A distance
From grace
We shall toil
With our days
And take home the dirt
That has rendered us as slaves
Our mothers will cry
Is there something in the sky
We know we are present here
Though may never know why
Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into this world
Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into this world
Tucked in the corner of earth
Placed on the wayside at birth
Found on the open road
Making our way back home
Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into the world
When it's quiet
And the waves come rolling in
The merchant ships light
Paints the dark
As we sing hymns
To one who is great
Whom by words cannot be seen
When all left is love
There will be no in between
Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into this world
A distance
From grace
We shall toil
With our days
And take home the dirt
That has rendered us as slaves
Our mothers will cry
Is there something in the sky
We know we are present here
Though may never know why
Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into this world
Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into this world
Tucked in the corner of earth
Placed on the wayside at birth
Found on the open road
Making our way back home
Tucked in the corner of earth
Naked in light we are birthed
Oh can you hear the sea calling
Calling us into the world
