lyrics

Cigarettes by the seaside
and the waves have washed away our dreams
Cigarettes by the seaside
and the water’s almost at my feet

Say my name, and say it
loud enough for me to hear
so I know you’re there

The only thing I want to feel is love
I just wanna be loved
I just wanna be loved

Cigarettes by the seaside
and the waves have washed away our dreams
Cigarettes by the seaside
and the water’s almost at my feet

We search for that which we never find
The ocean’s deep and to keep in mind:
We’re against the tide

But though it’s hard, we carry on
Keep on sailing through the storms
and maybe that’s just life

Cigarettes by the seaside
and we wonder when the storm will pass
Cigarettes by the seaside
to make it safely home at last
