[00:10.250]Life is easy, sitting in New York
[00:19.170]Streets are loud so I never have to talk
[00:23.100]Days are long so there's time to forget
[00:26.590]Lift my eyes to the beautiful sunset
[00:30.650]Keep my distance except when I want to
[00:34.640]Feel the colour of what I learned about
[00:39.010]As a boy in the glow of a screen
[00:42.440]Set on leaving to make my life the dream
[00:46.870]Fill my mouth with the language of others
[00:50.120]Paint my skin with the shade of my lovers
[00:54.180]Hide the cracks with the smiles that they see
[00:57.860]Learn to be strong, and learn to be free
[01:01.610]And I know that to your eyes
[01:04.280]it seems like I'm alone
[01:08.090]I know that where you are
[01:12.090]I feel too far from home
[01:16.140]And I know I spend these days
[01:19.950]too far for you to share
[01:23.940]But somewhere over the water,
[01:28.070]all my dreams are still in your care
[01:33.490]Every year as we crawl to December
[01:52.830]Count down the days till you think I remember
[01:56.580]Where I am from,
[01:58.140]and the life that you gave me
[02:00.510]If only you knew you were wrong
[02:03.070]Cos it's in the music,
[02:06.190]the words I've been singing
[02:08.240]It's the colour that never washes out
[02:12.620]It's the beat of this heart you've been missing
[02:16.170]It's the taste of the things you're wishing for
[02:20.420]Though my mouth moves in different directions
[02:23.970]And my skin knows another's touch by now
[02:28.150]All the cracks are as plain to see
[02:31.150]But I learn to be strong,
[02:33.200]and learn to be free
[02:35.330]And I know that your to mind
[02:37.960]it seems like I'm alone
[02:41.830]I know that where you are
[02:45.640]I feel to far from home
[02:49.690]And I know I spend these days
[02:53.750]too far for you to share
[02:57.560]But somewhere over the water
[03:01.860]all my dreams are still in your care
[03:07.040]Life is good out here in New York
[03:26.510]I miss my friends, I miss the rain
[03:29.820]But I catch a glimpse of you
[03:32.440]there in the rear view
[03:34.320]Hear you laugh in the words that I say
[03:37.620]I hope that you're OK
[03:40.300]I hope that there's colour in all your days
[03:45.550]
[03:46.670]And when I look out to the sea I hope
[03:50.660]that you're strong
[03:51.600]and I hope that you're free
[03:53.280]And I know that to your mind
[03:56.090]it seems like I'm alone
[03:59.960]I know that where you are
[04:03.950]I feel to far from home
[04:07.910]And I know I spend these days
[04:11.650]too far for you to share
[04:15.590]But somewhere over the water
[04:19.830]all my dreams are still in your care
[04:24.390]And I know that to your mind
[04:27.070]it seems like I'm alone
[04:31.260]I know that where you are
[04:34.990]I feel to far from home
[04:38.990]And I know I spend these days
[04:42.860]too far for you to share
[04:46.790]But somewhere over the water
[04:51.090]all my dreams are still in your care
[04:57.640]Life is easy
[05:13.490]Over the water Life is easy
[05:21.420]Over the water Life is easy
