Claimed by the Sea

There are cockles, and broken glass spread across the floor
 The door is wide open, and the sand made drifts all down the hall
 Broken panes in the window, reflected light in from the sky
 This is no longer my house, it's been claimed by the sea

 ♪
 A starfish is dying down by the laundry
 Ironically, the washing machine is half full
 Of seawater washed in by the waves at night
 Leaving a salty snail-like trail behind
 This is no longer my house, it has been claimed by the sea
 Claimed by the sea
 And it was always going to be claimed by the sea
 And it was always going to be claimed by the sea
 And it was always going to be claimed by the sea
 ♪
 I've planted a garden in assorted pots
 The flowers are drooping and waterlogged
 Seaweed lay in wreaths like it was Christmastime
 A Christmas in a house that wasn't mine
 Been claimed by the sea
 And it was always going to be claimed by the sea
 And it was always going to be claimed by the sea
 And it was always going to be claimed by the sea
