Salty river
   Falls asleep in the bay
   Always gets there
   Never early, never late
  
   Nothing's happening
   Nothing's happening by the sea
  
   White waves tumble down
   And gently roll back into blue
   On wooden seats outside the bar
   The couples make their rendezvous
  
   Nothing's happening
   Nothing's happening by the sea
  
   The trouble has been found
   There's too far ups and too many downs
   I found a level that feels just right
   There's no mistaking where I'm going tonight
  
   Nothing's happening
   Nothing's happening by the sea
