Cure, The - From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea Lyrics






Every time we do this
I fall for her
Wave after wave after wave
It's all for her
I know this can't be wrong I say
(And I'll lie to keep her happy)
As long as I know that you know
That today I belong
Right here with you
Right here with you...

And so we watch the sun come up
From the edge of the deep green sea
And she listens like her head's on fire
Like she wants to believe in me
So I try
Put your hands in the sky
Surrender
Remember
We'll be here forever
And we'll never say goodbye...

I've never been so
Colourfully-see-through-head before
I've never been so
Wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
And all I want is to keep it like this
You and me alone
A secret kiss
And don't go home
Don't go away
Don't let this end
Please stay
Not just for today

Never never never never never let me go she says
Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days
But suddenly she slows
And looks down at my breaking face
Why do you cry? what did I say?
But it's just rain I smile
Brushing my tears away...

I wish I could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
Too many years I've cried over you

How much more can we use it up?
Drink it dry?
Take this drug?
Looking for something forever gone
But something
We will always want?

Why why why are you letting me go? she says
I feel you pulling back
I feel you changing shape...
And just as I'm breaking free
She hangs herself in front of me
Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
And hands in the sky
Surrenders it all...

I wish I could just stop
I know another moment will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
Too many years I've cried for you
It's always the same
Wake up in the rain
Head in pain
Hung in shame
A different name
Same old game
Love in vain
And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Away from home again...

  1. A.... I....

    fuck you tube tube.. KILL SUSAN..

  2. K.... L....

    I've been listening to this song since I was a teenager. 45 now still enjoy it. So did my ex who passed away at a young age.

  3. S.... M....

    Amazing song. The bass just goes on and on and on , seems like a 100 mph for 8 minutes , yeah a Girl that got away in 1992 and this song came along , I stood in disbelief of what was entering my ears , its just rain , promise. .

  4. V.... M....

    Y ahora no os compramos una mierda

  5. C.... T....

    Such a wonderful song 🤩

  6. P.... K....

    PK 💔 JU

  7. V.... M....

  9. k.... L....

    LOVE
    AMOUR

  10. D.... N....

    the solo awards the end is killer!

  11. A.... M....

    Probably my fav.

  12. H.... K....

    Cure has that ability to capture our mind with their music. For me this is for sure the best song in their opus. I am musician and this tune makes me get musical/psychological orgasm. I am so high on album Wish but this one is song of the songs. So dramatic with a lot musically happens within the structure of song.

  13. b.... ....

    I always look for the lyrics. This one hits hard.

  14. p.... h....

    Bands shouldn’t be producing albums as brilliant as Wish So far into their careers .... The Cure break the mould

  15. J.... W....

    5:45..... fuck!!!

  16. M.... G....

    This is too good

  20. K.... a....

    Te Amo, Enkarlacion♥️🌽

  21. S.... B....

    Just not long enough, a bloody masterpiece and The Cure at their very best!

    S.... B....

    Yep, true words.

  22. V.... L....

    It strikes a chord on many levels not only is it musically superb the lyrics are sublime, and the reason this song works is really none of the above it’s because it means something personal to your self emotionally. It’s rare songs can do that .

  23. T.... ....

    Thank you Robert Smith, you save me. 🙏

  24. s.... ....

    guessing im just a sad old git

  25. s.... ....

    breaks mine to

  27. K.... K....

    I miss my daughter Linda

  28. V.... T....

  30. M.... K....

  32. R.... B....

  34. R.... B....

  35. R.... B....

  39. E.... R....

    184 dist like 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤤🤪🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯😵😵😵😵😵🤪🤪🤪🤪🤭🤨😕😒😤😤😤 DONT know any THINGS of true music

  40. m.... ....

    I've known this song since like...forever. Just when Wish had come out back in the 90s I soon had it taped. But some songs and some lyrics come back to you after decades and you understand them better when they talk to you thru your own life experiences. Thanks Robert. I hear it again, helps me again. Cheers.

  41. M.... M....

    when i was child 15 16 years...i don't cure...i was other musical formation...i was afraid about lulliby claustofrobic video….then a partner father in job colosed him cd shop for rent...and my father gave to me a list of cd to buy for a good price...it's other time cd was exensipeve….40 dollar usa...and i choosse Wish and The Head on the door…….so i discovered Cure….in thet period..people loves musica, spend money….and it was wonderful...waiting new album..prepare the money for buy it...talking about thet album with friend...was happy to listen the first song...as childs....now they have all music,....but its doesn't music...they are millennials....poor sub human humanity.......no value,no roots, no coulture...

  42. e.... h....

    ben böyle güzel şarkı dinlemedim

  43. C.... ....

    "looking for something forever gone, but something we will always want" oh my god this is constantly repeating since the 90's in my life

  44. C.... ....

    Deng what a powerful song! Just described what we all go thru sometime in our lives..but be assure that this is the cure for that.

  45. J.... S....

    one of Roberts finest written love torn songs of heartbreak and regret...like essence slipping through the streams of a broken heart...it's too beautiful

    J.... S....

    A great song... but Robert actually mentioned this is a metaphor for drugs

    J.... S....

    @Briguyclyde Royz yeah I get that but but it's also obvious its about an ending to a relationship...

  46. D.... S....

    Nice Oasis beginning

  47. D.... D....

    Amen and amen

  48. D.... D....

    We are drawn willingly toward the dark flames of these notes this verse like heartsick moths. We you I will never solve the equation as to why we are so moved, why we volunteer to pierce our hearts with Robert smiths god devil muse inspired dirges. We hear the sirens call and love it want to understand more of it’s dark sinuous beauty and pain, like a masochist we steer toward the rocks.

    D.... D....

    Awww, 'like heart sick moths'...that's strangely, both sweet and sad 😔

  49. C.... G....

    my life personified in this melody

  50. M.... P....

    Of the many thousands and thousands of songs I've listened to since the 1970s, I've viewed this as the best song ever made since I first heard it and nothing has changed my mind since. Robert Smith is the underappreciated Mozart of the 20th century.

    A sign of a truly great song is that you can't do anything else while it plays but listen enraptured. It forces you to pay attention and feel the music for the entire time, finally leaving you emotionally drained at the end. It is an experience every time.

  51. N.... ....

    I lost my dad a half year ago too. After that my mum was leaving him he was not himself anymore, since ten years he was taking Amphetamine and alcohol and he was the biggest fan of the cure, and new wave. My parents was falling in love '92 at one festival, raining, in the car of him with the song „from the edge of the deep green sea“. I was finding him two years before his death already one time after he was full of blood and I called one emergency. He was saved but there was one note next to his bed that I was keeping to me until today. Was that note: I wish I could just stop
    I know another moment will break my heart
    Too many tears
    Too many times
    Too many years I've cried for you
    It's always the same
    Wake up in the rain
    Head in pain
    Hung in shame
    A different name
    Same old game
    Love in vain
    And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
    Away from home again
    from the song. We was so close, I was taking drugs too and I was getting the best music taste possible of him. When we grew up was always music in our house. When I want to feel him near to me I listen the cure (that I would do even this) or joy division. He was teaching me to see the beauty inside desperate. I miss him so much.

  52. J.... G....

    The cure is best with lsd trips

    J.... G....

    Was listening to KmKm KM last night on mushrooms, a very awesome evening 😊

  53. A.... 4....

    q grande riki

  54. K.... Y....

    I think this is my absolute favorite Cure song as well!! The hook.The angst. So passionate

  55. M.... H....

    🖤🖤

  56. G.... M....

    This IS me and him. It has been since I met him in 1985 and it will be US until the day I die.

  57. s.... ....

    One of those songs where I end up hitting repeat multiple times. One of their absolute best from my all time favourite band. I first got into them in 83 when I was 13 after my big sister brought back Japanese whispers from uni. I was addicted from then on. The Cure got me through my teenage angst. And my twenties angst. And my thirties, forties...
    Whenever life's at it's darkest I find the Cure.

  58. a.... a....

    As great a buried opus in an amazing album as any

  75. H.... ....

    Smith 💜💜

    If Carlsberg wrote songs....

  77. L.... S....

  84. L.... M....

    La puta que te pario Robert Smith. Esto es increible.

  85. t.... o....

    J adoooorre 🤩😍😘

  86. N.... C....

    Number one

  87. j.... d....

    My wife used to lip sync this to me in the car when we first got together. It's one of the fondest moments I've ever experienced. I finally understand this song

  88. W.... S....

    I'll see them tomorrow!! IS THIS A FUCKING DREAM??? 😭😭😭

  89. C.... J....

    I heard this for the first time at Glastonbury 2019,I was blown away by this performance,what a epic tune,always loved the Cure 💕💕

  90. R.... B....

    I have the Glastonbury performance on my TiVo box but this is better than the phone recordings on youtube

  91. R.... B....

    oddly I'm 68 and I love this song

  92. c.... ....

    Awesome at Glastonbury

  93. r.... ....

    Hats off to Porl Thompson, who seems to be a mostly forgotten figure now (and that seems to be the way he wants things, so fair enough) - but in the late 80s and early 90s his guitar sound gave The Cure a magic that they didn't have before or since. This song is one of his greatest moments.

  94. s.... ....

    Like I say on other cure links, just thank to you all for being here

  95. I.... ....

    Anyone see them do this at Glastonbury last night? it was electrifying!!!

    I.... ....

    InnerCityGirl1 I did, my only reason for going. Destruction was overdriven bass paradise

    I.... ....

    @Matt Reade I know, it's like being in heaven listening to this song......they are so fantastic live. Ditto 'Burn', I could have died happy during that song !

  96. S.... O....

    TO MY LOVE SEE YOU SOON IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN MY LOVE

  97. S.... B....

    Wonderfully made , would speak more on how beautiful this song is but what's the point the words do that for its self 😊

  98. R.... N....

    Every time we do this
    I fall for her
    Wave after wave after wave
    It's all for her
    I know this can't be wrong I say
    (and I'll lie to keep her happy)
    As long as I know that you know
    That today I belong
    Right here with you
    Right here with you...
    And so we watch the sun come up
    From the edge of the deep green sea
    And she listens like her head's on fire
    Like she wants to believe in me
    So I try
    Put your hands in the sky
    Surrender
    Remember
    We'll be here forever
    And we'll never say goodbye

    I've never been so
    Colorfully-see-through-head before
    I've never been so
    Wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
    And all I want is to keep it like this
    You and me alone
    A secret kiss
    And don't go home
    Don't go away
    Don't let this end
    Please stay
    Not just for today

    Never never never never never never never never never let me go she says
    Hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days
    But suddenly she slows
    And looks down at my breaking face
    Why do you cry? what did I say?
    But it's just rain I smile
    Brushing my tears away

    I wish I could just stop
    I know another moment will break my heart
    Too many tears
    Too many times
    Too many years I've cried over you
    Over you, over you
    How much more can we use it up?
    Drink it dry?
    Take this drug?
    Looking for something forever gone
    But something
    We will always want?

    Why why why are you letting me go? she says
    I feel you pulling back
    I feel you changing shape
    And just as I'm breaking free
    She hangs herself in front of me
    Slips her dress like a flag to the floor
    And hands in the sky
    Surrenders it all

    I wish I could just stop
    I know another moment will break my heart
    Too many tears
    Too many times
    Too many years I've cried for you
    It's always the same
    Wake up in the rain
    Head in pain
    Hung in shame
    A different name
    Same old game
    Love in vain
    And miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
    Away from home again

    R.... N....

    I´m crying...
