Across the street
Into the sea below
Is where we’ll meet
In case you don’t know
I’d never know by your eyes
But I know you’ll surprise me still
I’ll never see in your mind
But I know that you’ll find your way home
And where you’re going
Across the street
Is where I want to be
Surrounded by
The deep salt sea
I always knew from the start
That your warm heart won’t grow cold
I can’t envisage the end
Or it beginning to descend
And you know that
You don’t have to worry now
‘Cause you’re secrets safe inside
You don’t have to worry now
Over and over
From small town dreams
That should remain untold
Grow vivid dreams
With pictures bright and bold
And if I felt at the time
I’d put the climb on hold
We would learn from the past
And develop a faster way forward
You know that
You don’t have to worry now
‘Cause you’re secrets safe inside
You don’t have to worry now
Over and over
