- l was feeling free
l had the ringing of the sea
in my ears
And who else could l be?
l had the ringing of the sea
in my ears
And the pavement
rushing under me
Just drowning out
the passing of the years
And l said who-ooo-ooo
Who else do l need?
And without you
What else could l be?
What else do l need?
Well, l guess l need
falling skies
And more apologizing
for the way I became
Windmills to fight with
stay up all night with
Just give me enough room
to hang
l was feeling free
l had the shining of the ocean
in my eyes
And who else could l be?
l had the shining of the ocean
in my eyes
See, l was blinded
by the very thing
On which my fragile
peace of mind relied
And without you
What else could l be?

do it justice.

Wonderful, everything.
