About Me

Ted Bellamy


I long to go down to the sea again                              
And watch the waves crash on the beach again      
See the fog come rolling in                                         
And catch that wave again                                          
But then you feel that way                                          
The way you felt before                                       
You gaze down at the shore                                      
Feeling insecure                                                         
I came a long way to be with you tonight                   
Took just one look and then I knew                           
Nothing second rate, nothing second rate                   
Nothing second rate will do                               


  
                                                                                                  
And when it came your way                                      
You found no words to say                                      
You didn’t even try                                                   
Just let it walk by                                                       
It seems so inadequate to me                                  
To have your chance and just not take it                     
We gazed down at the shore                                      
Feeling insecure                                                         
I long to go down to the sea again                              
And see the waves crash on the beach                      
The fog comes rolling in                                            
 You feel that you could reach                        
Out and touch everything                                           
But then you just can’t win                                        
That feeling of foreboding                                          
When you sense that what you’re holding                 
Contains a fatal flaw, feeling insecure            
Feeling insecure, you know what you should do       
You should just take one look                                    
One look and then you knew                                     
Nothing second rate will do
