Hope

Here I'm standing at the seashore
Watch the waves coming in one by one
Hear them shouting, I hear them roar
Like a blessed animal, like a lost soul
Here I'm bending against the wind
Who tries to rip out the coat from my skin
I reach out to hold some, keep it till tonight
So I bring it to your house and we'll blow out the lights
'Cause hope, hope, hope keeps me alive
Hope, hope, hope keeps me going
Here I'm sitting down by the water
To catch some oranges, the ones you like so much
I hold my hands into the salty water
And try not to breathe, not to scare them away
'Cause hope, hope, hope keeps me alive
Hope, hope, hope keeps me alive
Hope, hope, hope keeps me alive
Hope, hope, hope keeps me going
Here I'm laying down at the beach
And see how the rest of the day's sailing west
I reach into my mouth to rip out a kiss
And throw it against the horizon and hope I won't miss
'Cause hope, hope, hope keeps me alive
Hope, hope, hope keeps me alive
Hope, hope, hope keeps me alive
Hope, hope, hope keeps me going
Hope, hope, hope keeps me alive
Hope, hope, hope keeps me alive
Hope, hope, hope keeps me alive
Hope, hope, hope keeps me going
