Story Behind the Song
Final mix completed in late March 2003. First finished track for the new album. Written around 1995 and regularly performed at small Brighton gigs since. Based on a sequence of guitar chords in the Police style of Sting/Andy Summers.
Lyrics
When rational plans make no more sense,
In circumstance beyond control,
Awaken to the present tense,
Another chance to heal your soul.
I hear you calling, I hear you calling me,
I hear you calling across the deep deep sea.
The day to day can bring you down,
It seems so hard, you're on your own,
You shut them out, you let them in,
Make friends with those around you.
I hear you crying, I hear you crying now,
I hear you crying across the deep deep sea.
Finding a way to cope witn it all,
Finding a way to let go.
Finding a way to dissolve the pain,
Dying to be re-born.
Escape a while and drift away,
And then you come back down to earth,
Make friends with devils in your mind,
Make friends with your enemies.
I hear you laughing, I hear you laughing now,
I hear you laughing across the deep deep sea.
