The Sea Is Calling

The Temper Trap · The Temper Trap [2012]

At night when it's quiet and the waves come rolling in,

The merchant ship's light paints the dark as we sing hails

To one who is great, whom but words cannot be seen

When all left is love, there will be no in between



Tucked in the corner of Earth

Naked in light we are born

Oh, can you hear the sea calling?

Calling us into the world



At distance from grace, we shall toil with our days

And take on the dirt that has rendered us as slaves

Our mothers will cry, is there something in the sky?

We know we are present here, but may never know why



Tucked in the corner of Earth

Naked in light we are born

Oh, can you hear the sea calling?

Calling us into the world



Tucked in the corner of Earth

Naked in light we are born

Oh, can you hear the sea calling?

Calling us into the world



Tucked in the corner of Earth

Placed on the wayside at birth

Down on the open road

Making our way back home



Tucked in the corner of Earth

Naked in light we are born

Oh, can you hear the sea calling?

Calling us into the world
