fragrance clings like smoke to my clothes.
autumn trees shed leaves over me.
colours bring new life to the earth.

I swear I can smell the sea.
I swear I believe in love.
I swear I can smell the sea.
I swear I believe in love again.

lamplight sucks the town into view -
paper cups, and drunks against walls.
ripped and torn, their hell doesn't burn.

I swear that I'll never fall.
I swear I won't ever turn.
I swear that I'll never fall.
I swear I won't ever turn.

I swear I can smell the sea.
I swear I believe in love.
I swear I can smell the sea.
I swear I believe in love.

out here where wind is howling,
I watch the rising flames.
out here where leaves are burning,
I smell the sea again.

the night sky, the sweet earth;
the night sky, the sweet earth.
I talk to you, but you cannot hear;
I'm talking to you, but you cannot hear.
