Ocean Song

Walk me to the ocean Blues inside the words I swallow Hours of time lost in the morning Drinking coffee by the sunrise Weeping willow singing sideways There are hills outside the city Leave the lights on glowing silent Oh, the sadness of the dimming Keep it cool beside a river Getting down and getting thinner Sun is open, gentle skylight Climbing higher in the twilight Than the rocks of Malibu And the trees of Echo Park I see them fondly in the evening And the space inside my dreaming Of a girl and of a feeling So entwined inside the ceiling Of a gesture, of a whisper Of a failure, oh a sister Keep me locked inside the eyelids Of the hilltops in the country Crying sunny, walking easy Living far from the city Is it me or is it you Or does it fade beyond the blue We carry sadness like the summer Years of past and getting younger See our friends out on the beach I've gone too long to see the feet Of people wishing, waves caressing People laughing, people dancing Oh the stones within our hearts The blood below our skin Is streaming upwards to the skyward Planes above and every star is something Broken by the fears And all the hope behind the years I'm growing older, maybe wiser See the blues inside the fire Take me to the country I have flown above the rivers In the nighttime Where the daylit moon is shining Where the darkness falls I walk below a song Sung inside the melody Of floors falling, glasses clinking Lovers lost and mama winking At the folly of the outcome And the beauty of the waters Washing straight towards our dying hands I wish for us to be well Oh, it makes me feel alone To see my old home There's nothing pretty in the sadness Memories and past gladness For the spoons inside the cupboard And the starlight in the summer air I've spent it, I have lost it Far away now I have left it In the darkest part of me It's too far for us to see We've only felt it in a moment Where we blinked our eyes and suddenly were free
