[Verse 1]
How can I tell you I was wrong?
How can I tell you I was wrong?
When I am the proudest man ever born

Everything's cold on the line of the horizon
[Refrain]
Come to me, oh, won't you come to me? Whoa
Come to me, oh, won't you come to me? Whoa
Come to me, oh, won't you come to me?
Oh, won't you come to me? Yeah
[Verse 2]
How can I tell you I was wrong?
How can I tell you I was wrong?

That you've ever known
That you've ever known

Everything's gold on the line of the horizon

[Refrain]
So won't you come to me?
Oh, won't you come to me? yeah
Oh, come to me
Oh, won't you come to me? Yeah
[Bridge]
Oh, the North Sea sings, "Won’t you come to me, baby?"
Oh, won't you come to me?
Oh, the North Sea sings, "Won’t you come to me, baby?"
Oh, won't you come to me?
Oh, the North Sea sings, "Won’t you come to me, baby?"
Oh, the North Sea singing, "Oh, won’t you come to me?"
Oh, the North Sea sings, "Oh, won’t you come to me, baby?"
The North Sea singing, "Oh, won’t you come to me?"
Oh, the North Sea sings, "Oh, won’t you come to me, baby?"
Oh, the North Sea singing, "Oh, won’t you come to me?"
Oh, the North Sea sings, "Won’t you come to me, baby?"
Oh, the North Sea sings, "Come to me"
[Refrain]
Oh, won't you come to me with you?
Won't you come to me with you?
Won't you come to me with you?
Won't you come to me?
[Outro]
Oh, the North Sea sings, "Oh, won’t you come to me, baby?"
Oh, the North Sea singing, "Oh, won’t you come to me?"
Oh, the North Sea sings, "Won’t you come to me, baby?"
Oh, the North Sea sings, "Won’t you come to me?"
