The Opposite Side of the Sea

On the opposite side of the sea
The opposite side of the day
The colors are brighter and glee
The people unusually gray

On the opposite side of the sun
The ground is too hot to stand on
Too hot to stand on so they run

On the opposite side of the waves
The edge of a town to be saved
And quiet by night it’ll keep
For those who still dream there’s no sleep

On the opposite side of the sea you’ll find her
But the waves will pull you under
On the opposite side of the sea you’ll find her
But the waves will pull you under

On the opposite side of the wind
A woman is wearing it thin
The opposite side of her skin

On the opposite side of the blue
Some people are waving at you
They say it is love that they’ve got
You’re almost convinced but you’re not

On the opposite side of the sea you’ll find her
But the waves will pull you under
On the opposite side of the sea you’ll find her
But the waves will pull you under

Reach your hand out
Someone’ll take it
Strip you down and leave you naked
That’s what they do to strangers, you see…
That’s what they do to strangers, you see…

…On the opposite side of the sea
