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