StanLei - Oh Sea (Mama Mar) Lyrics

Left my baby behind and I went away
Crossed the world searching perfect waves
When I got there I found I couldn't even stay up
I'd left all my treasure behind

Mama Mar taught me things I didn't wanna learn
Like you can never keep that which you didn't earn
Left my soles on the hot sand I'm feeling the burn
Let the tide take me far far away

O si Mama Mar, I'm still hoping on you
If I can't drop in on you I can still sing the blues
When I'm feeling down never mind what I do
I know one sweet far off day I know I will drop in true

Now the palms whisper secrets I can't really hear
Cos old Mama Mar she has blocked up my ears
She took all my strength & threw me back over here
And still my yearning goes on... Goes on and on

For what I was searching I know now I'll never find
It's all that I had and it's all on the inside
All I can do now is keep on trying to be kind
Hoping I'll get that feeling again some day

Oh sea, Mama Mar, I'm still hoping on you
If I can't drop in on you I can still sing the blues
When I'm feeling down never mind what I do
I know one sweet far off day I know I will drop in true

Cos I know that these white walls are all but in my mind
You can rush muscle but not memory
The best ones I got they are now haunting me
I know these white walls are all in my mind
They are all in my mind
