about

“Land Of The Living” (1992 Version, 2024 Remix)

Waves of sound
Waves of motion
I cast off the anchor
And drifted out into the night
I was bound
By some foolish notion
Lashed to the mast
Cast adrift on a sea of emotion

Welcome back
It's time for forgiving
Land of the living
We're in the land of the living

On solid ground
I heard waves break in rhythm
Never thought that the song of the siren
Could lure me away
I sang a round
In harmony with them
Never thought that their sad orchestration
Would lead me astray

Welcome back
It's time for forgiving
Land of the living

Watched a flawless sunrise
From a dirty beach
Saw the whole world waiting
Waiting just out of reach

Well, I nearly drowned
Lost on the ocean
I crashed on the rocks
Just a castaway
Back in your arms
I found sanctuary
But I can't help but thinking
About the one that got away

Welcome back
It's time for forgiving
Welcome back, welcome back
Land of the living
