Oceans Burning
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.
In the orchard we see you once again
Listening only with the sunlight on your arms
It's a change to see you in my world again
Only visiting, but happy anyway
It's a joy to see you waiting there
Lit up, left glowing in the air
It's a joy to know you're waiting there
Writing letters, burning in the air
In the picture we see you once again
Still leaning with the sunlight on your arms
Then the life sent itself into the air
Until someone came upon the frozen stare
It's a joy to know you're waiting there
Lit up, left burning in the air
It's a joy to see you waiting there
Writing letters, burning in the air
Bringing all wonders to light
On a lonely ship we are
Waking like an ocean which is sighing, oh
Even when I told you you were wrong
Turns out you were right all along
Hold me open when I am with you
Hold me open when I am with you
You know it's gone
You see me run as if to hide
There on a lonely ship
Filled full of an ocean which is burning, oh
Melt together when I am with you
Held together when I am with you
We had it there
We had it there, I could have sworn
Turns out you were right all along
Turns out you were right all along
Turns out you were right all along
