Sea Change

We scoff and roll our eyes Yeah, we've heard this all before in a different guise These shrill alarmist fears We don't deign to entertain them, covering our ears So, where will we go when the water Threaten to wash us away? And all of our sons and our daughters Wilt in the heat of the day? I feel the sun draw nearer I feel the sea start to rise Who's looking back in the mirror? Why are they closing? Why are they closing their eyes? Now that heavy curtain sways And the man who stands behind tries to give his name So, we ask ourselves, "Who stands to gain?" Soon our tired talking points are feeling awfully strained So, where will we go when the waters Threaten to wash us away? And all of our sons and our daughters Wilt in the heat of the day? I feel the sun draw nearer I feel the sea start to rise Who's looking back in the mirror? Why are they closing? Why are they closing their eyes? So, where will we go when the waters Threaten to wash us away? And all of our sons and our daughters Wilt in the heat of the day? I feel the sun draw nearer I feel the sea start to rise Who's looking back in the mirror? Why are they closing? Why are they closing their eyes? Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes? Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes? Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes? Why are we closing, why are we closing our eyes?
