[00:10.25]Life is easy, sitting in New York
[00:19.17]Streets are loud so I never have to talk
[00:23.10]Days are long so there's time to forget
[00:26.59]Lift my eyes to the beautiful sunset
[00:30.65]Keep my distance except when I want to
[00:34.64]Feel the colour of what I learned about
[00:39.01]As a boy in the glow of a screen
[00:42.44]Set on leaving to make my life the dream
[00:46.87]Fill my mouth with the language of others
[00:50.12]Paint my skin with the shade of my lovers
[00:54.18]Hide the cracks with the smiles that they see
[00:57.86]Learn to be strong, and learn to be free
[01:01.61]And I know that to your eyes
[01:04.28]it seems like I'm alone
[01:08.09]I know that where you are
[01:12.09]I feel too far from home
[01:16.14]And I know I spend these days
[01:19.95]too far for you to share
[01:23.94]But somewhere over the water,
[01:28.07]all my dreams are still in your care
[01:33.49]Every year as we crawl to December
[01:52.83]Count down the days till you think I remember
[01:56.58]Where I am from,
[01:58.14]and the life that you gave me
[02:00.51]If only you knew you were wrong
[02:03.07]Cos it's in the music,
[02:06.19]the words I've been singing
[02:08.24]It's the colour that never washes out
[02:12.62]It's the beat of this heart you've been missing
[02:16.17]It's the taste of the things you're wishing for
[02:20.42]Though my mouth moves in different directions
[02:23.97]And my skin knows another's touch by now
[02:28.15]All the cracks are as plain to see
[02:31.15]But I learn to be strong,
[02:33.20]and learn to be free
[02:35.33]And I know that your to mind
[02:37.96]it seems like I'm alone
[02:41.83]I know that where you are
[02:45.64]I feel to far from home
[02:49.69]And I know I spend these days
[02:53.75]too far for you to share
[02:57.56]But somewhere over the water
[03:01.86]all my dreams are still in your care
[03:07.04]Life is good out here in New York
[03:26.51]I miss my friends, I miss the rain
[03:29.82]But I catch a glimpse of you
[03:32.44]there in the rear view
[03:34.32]Hear you laugh in the words that I say
[03:37.62]I hope that you're OK
[03:40.30]I hope that there's colour in all your days
[03:45.55]
[03:46.67]And when I look out to the sea I hope
[03:50.66]that you're strong
[03:51.60]and I hope that you're free
[03:53.28]And I know that to your mind
[03:56.09]it seems like I'm alone
[03:59.96]I know that where you are
[04:03.95]I feel to far from home
[04:07.91]And I know I spend these days
[04:11.65]too far for you to share
[04:15.59]But somewhere over the water
[04:19.83]all my dreams are still in your care
[04:24.39]And I know that to your mind
[04:27.07]it seems like I'm alone
[04:31.26]I know that where you are
[04:34.99]I feel to far from home
[04:38.99]And I know I spend these days
[04:42.86]too far for you to share
[04:46.79]But somewhere over the water
[04:51.09]all my dreams are still in your care
[04:57.64]Life is easy
[05:13.49]Over the water Life is easy
[05:21.42]Over the water Life is easy
