Second Home by the Sea

From Genesis 1983

Lyrics

Second Home by the Sea

[Verse] Images of sorrow, pictures of delight Things that go to make up a life Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom Just waiting for the morning light Scenes of unimportance like photos in a frame Things that go to make up a life (Life, life, life) As we relive our lives in what we tell you
