Sammy was low
          Just watching the show
          Over and over again
          Knew it was time
          He'd made up his mind
          To leave his dead life behind
          His boss said to him
          Boy you'd better begin
          To get those crazy notions right out of your head
          Sammy who do you think that you are
          You should've been sweeping up the Emerald bar
          
          Spread your wings and fly away
          Fly away far away
          Spread your little wings and fly away
          Fly away far away
          Pull yourself together
          'Cause you know you should do better
          That's because you're a free man
          
          He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room
          Keeping his thoughts to himself he'd be leaving soon
          Wishing he was miles and miles away
          Nothing in this world nothing would make him stay
          
          Since he was small
          Had no luck at all
          Nothing came easy to him
          Now it was time
          He'd made up his mind
          This could be my last chance
          
          His boss said to him now listen boy
          You're always dreaming
          You've got no real ambition you won't get very far
          Sammy boy don't you know who you are
          Why can't you be happy at the Emerald bar
          
          So honey
          Spread your wings and fly away
          Fly away far away
          Spread your little wings and fly away
          Fly away far away
          Pull yourself together
          'Cause you know you should do better
          That's because you're a free man
          Come on honey

Suburban bathers own the sea
          But just between you and me
          The sun has never fully set
          That's seen the bathers fully wet
          
          I see the sea,
          The sea sees me
          
          They seem to run to morning light
          And crash the boards between the night
          If they'd learn to love themselves
          They might survive the murky depths
          
          I see the sea,
          The sea sees me
          
          If I'd learn to love myself
          I might survive the murky depths

We were talking
          About the space between us all
          And the people
          Who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
          Never glimpse the truth
          Then it's far too late when they pass away
          
          We were talking
          About the love we all could share 
          When we find it
          To try our best to hold it there, with our love, with our love
          We could save the world, if they only knew
          
          Try to realize it's all within yourself, no-one else can make you change
          And to see you're really only very small
          And life flows on within you and without you
          
          We were talking
          About the love that's gone so cold
          And the people
          Who gain the world and lose their soul
          They don't know, they can't see
          Are you one of them?
          
          When you've seen beyond yourself then you may find peace of mind is waiting there
          And the time will come when you see we're all one
          And life flows on within you and without you
