lyrics

Land Of The Living (1992)

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

On solid ground, I heard waves break in rhythm
Never thought that the song of the siren
Could lure me away
Well, 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

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

Lyrics, Melody: 5,7,8,9,10,11/85 + Bridge: 7/14-21/81 (from earlier Second Language song 'E=mc2')
