[Verse 1]
I spent my summer by the sea
To look for what I lost, oh
Once I had a dream or two
But I sold them at a cost
Often I would wonder why
We try so hard to stay alive
When nothing ever seems to satisfy
[Verse 2]
My best friend was a homeless man
With a beard to hide his face
Secretly I loved him so
But he was twice my age
We talked and we would sing all-day
Collecting sorrows to throw away
But nothing ever seemed to cease the pain
[Chorus 1]
I worked by day and by night I drank
I danced until my mind went blank
And when the morning came to me
I'd only ever do the same
Everybody said to me
They knew what would set me free
But no one has answers, oh
No one has any answers at all
I spent my summer by the sea
To look for what I lost, oh
Once I had a dream or two
But I sold them at a cost
Often I would wonder why
We try so hard to stay alive
When nothing ever seems to satisfy
[Verse 2]
My best friend was a homeless man
With a beard to hide his face
Secretly I loved him so
But he was twice my age
We talked and we would sing all-day
Collecting sorrows to throw away
But nothing ever seemed to cease the pain
[Chorus 1]
I worked by day and by night I drank
I danced until my mind went blank
And when the morning came to me
I'd only ever do the same
Everybody said to me
They knew what would set me free
But no one has answers, oh
No one has any answers at all
