Me By The Sea Lyrics - Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians

I'm glad no one's here, just me by the sea 

I'm glad no one's here to mess it up for me 

I'm glad no one's here, just me by the sea 

But man, I wish I had a hand to hold 

I saw an orange starfish on the side of a rock 

I poked on his back and tried to pull him off 

A crab scared me away, he ran close to my toes 

And man, I wish I had a hand to hold 

The moon is nowhere, almost time for the sun 

The voice of the waves sound anciently young 

I'm a prisoner of freedom, ten toes in the sand 

And man, I wish I had a hand to hold 

I'm in the habit of being alone 

I try hard to break it, I can't on my own
