"Lonely Sea" — from Surfin' USA (1963). The ocean as a space of solitude and longing.
The lonely sea
The lonely sea
It never stops
For you or me
It moves along
From day to day
That's why my love (oooo-oooo-oooo)
That's why my love (oooo-oooo-oooo)
You'll never stay (oooo-oooo-oooo)
You'll never stay (oooo-oooo-oooo)
(Ooooooo)
This pain in my heart (ooooooooo)
These tears in my eyes (ooooooooo)
Please tell the truth (ooooooooo)
You're like the lonely sea (sea)
Sea (sea)
The lonely sea (sea)
(Lonely sea lonely sea)
(Lonely sea lonely sea)
Lonely sea
(Lonely sea lonely sea)
(Lonely sea lonely sea)
Lonely sea
(Lonely sea lonely sea)
(Lonely sea lonely sea)
Lonely sea
Знаете ли вы, что...
- From Surfin' USA (1963). The sea's loneliness — vast, indifferent, absorbing — is the darker underside of the Beach Boys' usual celebration of ocean life. One of their earliest ballads.
