[Verse 1]
Too many days I wake up with an aching
Too many days have been wasted like sand
Too many hours have gone by without notice
Too many times I've let go of your hand
[Chorus]
Lay by the sea, bury all of your fear, lady lay
Lay by the sea, you are wild, you are free
You are daughter of mercy, daughter of strength
[Verse 2]
All of the time I'm reminded of failures
My tongue has bathed in spit from a thief
Dancing as close as I can to desire
Repeating my shortcomings loud to myself
[Chorus]
Lay by the sea, bury all of your fear, lady lay
Lay by the sea, you are wild, you are free
You are daughter of mercy, daugter og strength
[Verse 3]
Too many years have been wasted like money
Too many nights I wake up with a cry
Too many years have gone by without notice
Too many times I have wanted to die
[Chorus]
Lay by the sea, bury all of your fear, lady lay
Lay by the sea, you are wild, you are free
You are daughter of mercy, daughter of stength
