Leigh-on-Sea

I’m here

In the empty faces walking on the pier

I’m here

Where the winter sunlight sparkles on the sea

I’m here

On the quayside looking out at all the fishing boats

I’m here

Like the breeze upon your pretty face

 

When I come for you my love

I will find you in your dreams

I’ll put fire in your hands

And I’ll drag you to the sea

We will run into the foam

Let the ocean take us

I will set your spirit free

 

I’m here

I’m the wind blowing circles in fallen leaves

I’m here

I’m as restless as the sea, I cannot sleep

I’m here

In the sunset silhouette of ghostly fairground rides

I’m here

Under the neon flashing lights of all the amusement arcades

 

I have come for you my love

I must take you from your dreams

I’ll put fire on your tongue

And I’ll throw you in the sea

I will drag you through the foam

Let the ocean cleanse you

I have come to set you free

 

I’m here

In the stillness of the dawn, I’m in the air

I’m here

In the dewrops on every blade of grass

I’m here

In all the trees that whisper on the wind

I’m here

I’m the spirit demon watching over you

 

I have come for you my love

I must take you from your dreams

I’ll put fire on your tongue

And I’ll throw you to the sea

I will pull you through the foam

Let the ocean cleanse you

I have come to set you free
