"On The Esplanade" lyrics - PAUL BANKS

On the esplanade
Down by the sea
Baby, watch my back
I think somebody's been following me

You feel overcome
With trying to play it dead
You feel safe that way
Is it better than just playing instead?

T'was a big step for me to roll up my golden life
Should've saved, saved my energy

I'm awake today
It's so nice to see the window
Washed my dreams away
And I prop myself up on my pillow

We've been through shaky times
But I'm glad you found your way
There was too much panic then
From here on it'll be straight all the way

It was a big step for me to roll up my golden life
Should've saved, saved my energy

Changing with time
I can wait for the sign
Is this right?
The day choose your side
But the day brings the
Pride of the light
Oh with peace comes at night
I will never break from the shadow inside
To be blinded
Changing with time
I can wait for the sign
Is this right?

Is this right?
