Lyrics
I go out to the sand where the tide is dancing
All night long
Its that place where you land when you least expect it
All night long
Wouldn't it be lovely
But shouldn't you be terrified
All the babies crying
Holding on to every side
Chorus:
Thumbelina waits on an oyster shell
For a heavy taste of an ocean swell
Where's the music now?
Now the child is gone
Is the sad memory just a siren song?
I go back to the house where the lamp still flickers
All night long
Keeping time like a drum of a heartbeat sleeping
All night long
Why do you still come here
Shouldn't you be terrified?
All the babies crying
Holding on to every side
Chorus repeats
