Creeping up the blind side, shinning up the wall

stealing through the dark of night

Climbing through a window, stepping to the floor

checking to the left and the right

Picking up the pieces, putting them away

something doesn't feel quite right



Help me someone, let me out of here

then out of the dark was suddenly heard

"Welcome to the Home by the Sea"



Coming out the woodwork, through the open door

pushing from abouve and below

Shadows with no substance, in the shape of men

round and down and sideways they go

Adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair

then as one they sigh and they moan



Help us someone, let us out of here

Living here so long undisturbed

dreaming of the time we were free

so many years ago

before the time when we first heard

"Welcome to the Home by the Sea"



Sit down...Sit down

As we relive our lives in what we tell you



Images of sorrow, pictures of delight

things that go to make up a life

Endless days of summer, longer nights of gloom

waiting for the morning light

Scenes of unimportance, photos in a frame

things that go to make up a life



Help us someone, let us out of here

Living here so long undisturbed

dreaming of the time we were free

so many years ago

before the time when we first heard

"Welcome to the Home by the Sea"



Sit down...Sit down

as we relive our lives in what we tell you

let us relive our lives in what we tell you



Sit down...Sit down

Cause you won't get away

no with us you will stay

for the rest of your days. So sit down

As we relive our lives in what we tell you

Let us relive our lives in what we tell you
