Oceans Of Blue

We will ride on these oceans of blue

For its all we've ever known to do

So we will ride on these oceans of blue

Hell hath no fury like a storm from the south, my father used to say

And one black night when I was just a boy, it came and took everything away

It was all this little town had ever known

What will we do now ? the townsfolk asked

We can't rebuild, so we must move on

Move with the times and turn to other industry

For in fishing the good days are gone.

My father turned and said to me, son:

We must ride on these oceans of blue

For its all we've ever known to do

We must ride on these oceans of blue

So we rebuilt it all and years have passed

Now I have boys of my own

But the catches get thinner each year

And we can't seem to repay this loan

But it was all, we had ever known

My father did this job, and his father before him

It was all they had ever known

So reluctantly we move with the times

But before we return for one last time home

My father said to me son

We will ride on these oceans of blue

For its all we've ever known to do

We will ride on these oceans of blue

For its all we've ever known to do

We must ride on these oceans,

ride on this ocean,

ride on this ocean of blue
