The Ocean

Its been awhile, since you touched the ocean

Its been awhile, since you rowed the sea

Weve washed away, along way to nothin'

And back again, come back for somethin'Where sunsets children have wept

And mouths have fallen with dust

Their hands they scrape to find their homeThose tender kisses, all burned away

Those tender kisses, all gone away

Im not bringin back the oceanA million cells, they all molt to nothin

Curled up inside that silver lining

Were scattered 'round like precious wishes

Watch where we land, we all land with kissesOur dreams are covered in red

Where scarlets children have wept

Like a moments breath upon the lipsThose tender kisses, all burned away

Those tender kisses, Im not bringin back

The ocean, the ocean, the ocean, the ocean
