Over The Rhine - The Seahorse Lyrics

Over The Rhine Lyrics

"The Seahorse"

Welcome to the gold rush
Wait 'til after dark
Open up the ceiling
We'll be kneeling
We'll be breathing on a spark

Flying kites at midnight
Such a dizzy height
Up above the small town
Pulling moonlight down
And wearing it skin tight

You can always tell me
Anything at all
Think of all the times
You've let my lips move, yeah, yeah, yeah

Suddenly I'm weightless
Gravity is mine
I see it with my eyes closed
What my heart knows
We must leave this world behind

'Cause when I wake from dreaming
It's then I'm most alive
Eyelids barely open
No words spoken
Ah, but you were by my side

You can always tell me
Anything at all
Think of all the times
You've let my lips move, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh, what you're missing
Don't you wanna see what you're missing?
Oh, what you're missing
Don't you wanna see what you're missing?
Oh, what you're missing
Don't you wanna see what you're missing?

I can always tell you
Anything at all
Break the alabaster
Hearts beat faster, yeah, yeah, yeah

You can always tell me
Anything at all
Think of all the times
You've let my lips move, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Hey, what you're missing
Don't you wanna see what you're missing?
Oh, what you're missing
Don't you wanna see what you're missing?
Oh, what you're missing
Don't you wanna see what you're missing?
Oh, what you're missing
Don't you wanna see what you're missing?
Oh, what you're missing
Don't you wanna see what you're missing?
Oh, what you're missing
Don't you wanna see what you're missing?
