I spy your humble home I see the tea towels fly In a blinding flash I see the years go by Memories twisted around Somebody's finger Behind me now Oh but I still remember Do you see what I see? Do you see what I see? Do you see what I see? Do you see what I see? We go north to the ocean We drive so far But last year's light is shining hotter than the sun Looking for someone In a city that I know But I wasn't round for long I had somewhere else to go Do you see what I see? Do you see what I see? Do you see what I see? Do you see what I see? I see the safest place around In that city down below My hands are empty now And I waving as I go You were gone for a little while It was a fine fine line Between first and second thoughts We left them all behind Now we barely falter Now the long drive has begun North to the ocean Hotter, hotter than the sun Do you see what I see? Do you see what I see? Do you see what I see?
