Текст (слова) песни «Across The Sea»

you are eighteen year old girl
who live in small city in japan
you heard me on the radio
about one year ago
and you wanted to know all about me
and my hobbies
my favorite food and my birthday

why are you so far away from me?
i need help and you're way across the sea
i could never touch you
i think it would be wrong
i've got your letter
you've got my song

they don't make stationery like this where i'm from
so fragile
so defined
so i sniff (so i sniff)
and i lick (and i lick)
your envelopes
fall to little pieces every time

i wonder what clothes you wear to school
i wonder how you decorate your room
i wonder how you touch yourself
and curse myself for being across the sea

why are you so far away from me?

i need help and you're way across the sea
i could never touch you
i think it would be wrong
i've got your letter
you've got my song

at ten i shaved my head and tried to be a monk
i thought the older women would like me if i did
you see mom, i'm a good little boy (good little boy)
it's all your fault, momma

it's all your fault
goddam this business is really lame
i gotta live on an island to find the truth
so send me your love
from all around the world
so i gotta live on words and dreams and a million screams
oh how i need a hand of mine to feel

why are you so far away from me?
why are you so far away from me?
i could never touch you
i think it would be wrong
i've got your letter
you've got my song
i've got your letter
you've got my song
