Man In 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.

This is a song for the man who went down

This is a song for the man in the ocean

This is a heartbeat

This is a part of me

Everyone's reading in, in the papers

Feeling the fear and forgetting it later

This is a heartbeat

This is a part of me

This is the first step learning to fall

These are the wings, this is the call

This is the first kiss, bringing it home

This is the breath and the sex and the bones

And my hands, are full of life

And the rhythm in you, is the rhythm in me

And my hands, are full of life

Oooh, you make me feel

And this is the curse to the wave, that threw you

This is the shame of the years I slept

This is the glory, these are the tears

This is the longing in your belly

This is the siren in your veins

This is the light in the eyes of angels

This is the dark in the heart of danger

And my hands, are full of life

And the rhythm in you, is the rhythm in me

And my hands, are full of life

Oooh, you make me feel

We live forever our minds

A bit still we know there's never time

Enough to share the ones we loved

Enough to have to care to live above

I feel the chain that brings to time

I feel the way you left behind

I feel, this is a part of me

And my hands, are full of life

And the rhythm in you, is the rhythm in me

And my hands, are full of life

Oooh, you make me feel

And I know how loud a heart can beat

And the rhythm in you, is the rhythm in me

And I know, I know

Cause I've heard them scream

This is a heartbeat, this is a part of me

This is a heartbeat, this is a part of me

This is a heartbeat, this is a part of me

This is a heartbeat, this is a part of me
