[Verse 1]
All this short summer night long I've been waiting for you
Just to give me a sign that you feel this way too
There are people on the streets for the weekend
But I don't see them
There are others I could meet for the weekend
But I don't hear them
[Chorus]
Talk to me like the sea
Makes me want to get out of the city
Talk to me like the sea
Makes me want to get out of the city
[Verse 2]
I have a dream of an inky blue sea
You could give up your job and go thеre with me
I know we'd miss thе football and the dancing
There's always something
And you worry that the people here would be talking
But that's nothing
[Chorus]
Talk to me like the sea
Makes me want to get out of the city
Talk to me like the sea
Makes me want to get out of the city
[Bridge]
In the morning I sit on the train and wonder
If I can go through all this again you know I
Feel like staying until the end of the line this time
This time, this time, this time
Oh yeah
[Interlude]
We come to fight and dream
In this fairground of a town
Through the sweet and sickly streets
Through the airless undergrounds
While the planes fly out of Heathrow
Taking people late at night
To where the fields are like Australia
In the early morning light
[Chorus]
Talk to me like the sea
Makes me want to get out of the city
Talk to me like the sea
Makes me want to get out of the city
[Outro]
Talk to me like the sea, yeah
Talk to me like the sea
Talk to me like the sea
In the morning I sit on the train
Talk to me like the sea, yeah
All this short summer night long I've been waiting for you
Just to give me a sign that you feel this way too
There are people on the streets for the weekend
But I don't see them
There are others I could meet for the weekend
But I don't hear them
[Chorus]
Talk to me like the sea
Makes me want to get out of the city
Talk to me like the sea
Makes me want to get out of the city
[Verse 2]
I have a dream of an inky blue sea
You could give up your job and go thеre with me
I know we'd miss thе football and the dancing
There's always something
And you worry that the people here would be talking
But that's nothing
[Chorus]
Talk to me like the sea
Makes me want to get out of the city
Talk to me like the sea
Makes me want to get out of the city
[Bridge]
In the morning I sit on the train and wonder
If I can go through all this again you know I
Feel like staying until the end of the line this time
This time, this time, this time
Oh yeah
[Interlude]
We come to fight and dream
In this fairground of a town
Through the sweet and sickly streets
Through the airless undergrounds
While the planes fly out of Heathrow
Taking people late at night
To where the fields are like Australia
In the early morning light
[Chorus]
Talk to me like the sea
Makes me want to get out of the city
Talk to me like the sea
Makes me want to get out of the city
[Outro]
Talk to me like the sea, yeah
Talk to me like the sea
Talk to me like the sea
In the morning I sit on the train
Talk to me like the sea, yeah
