Claimed by the Sea Songtext
von French for Rabbits

There are cockles and broken glass spread across the floor
The door is wide open and the sand made drifts all down the hall
Broken panes in the window reflected light in from the sky
This is no longer my house, it has been claimed by the sea

A starfish is dying down by the laundry,
Ironically the washing machine is half full.
Of seawater, washed in by the waves at night,
Leaving a salty snail-like trail behind

This is no longer my house,
It has been claimed by the sea.


Claimed by the sea, and it was always going to be
Claimed by the sea, and it was always going to be
Claimed by the sea, and it was always going to be
Claimed by the sea.

I′ve planted a garden in assorted pots.
The flowers are drooping and waterlogged.
Seaweed lay in wreaths like it was Christmas time,
A Christmas in a house that wasn't mine

Been claimed by the sea, and it was always going to be
Claimed by the sea, and it was always going to be
Claimed by the sea, and it was always going to be
Claimed by the sea...
