Lyrics
The Ocean
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She was always walking,
Singing to her footsteps
Dirt ditch paths and pine cones
Digging up glass bottles
Rusty springs from feather beds
Old hubcaps on a picket fence
She planted beds of flowers
And stayed outside for hours
In spirit, she's drifted to the ocean
All those years of waiting for the water
She's watching long shadows call in the tide
But this sunset by the sea is in her mind
The sunset by the sea is in her mind
And she was always hoping
To someday leave the mountain
Domestic chores and children
The darkness of the winter
(And) painting all these mermaids
Wandering to the seashore
She wanted him to follow
But his heart is with the hillside
In spirit, she's drifted to the ocean
All those years of waiting for the water
She's watching long shadows call in the tide
But the sunset by the sea is in her mind
The sunset by the sea is in her mind.
These days, you'll find her walking
Singing to the deep sea
But she will always love him
Lost up in the mountain
The sun set on the ocean
Gathering shells and beach glass
And dancing with the rolling waves
It gives her piece of mind
But she will always love him
Lost up in the mountain
(But) she will always love him
Lost up in the mountain
