Drops In the Ocean

The Doves down in South Austin Still wake me in the mourn You said so long, and how you gone And your hearts just a little bit torn Everybody came and went Now all the moneys spent Got no house, got no rent Tried so hard didn't even make a dent You can't decide if your on the fence That night in jail must have been heaven sent Just to make us laugh, wonder at that and loves great big ocean So much love we barely slept So much love with no regrets So much love we payed off our debts We dove right in and we got wet In the Ocean Loves great big ocean, we dove right in. I bought a western shirt, you know the kind with snaps? The trumpet plays, playing taps It's hard to force yourself to relax When the future holds pending dooms And the woman I left in San Fransisco She's still crying to her pillow 4 years, like a blanket rapped around her shoulders She's still wishing, that I'd hold her And I wouldn't mind, wouldn't mind Have you ever seen your reflection in a tear Rolling down on a freckled chin? Have you ever had days feel like weeks? And days feel like weeks? Well I drink scotch and play backgammon Till I couldn't keep my eyes open Tried to let her go, but I couldn't help hoping for a chance at what we never had How we're throwing out the good with the bad I'm still smiling, she's still sad And we're both just drops in the Ocean In the Ocean Drops in the Ocean, its all we are Loves great big ocean. Well the water forms around the porch-screen door Wonder what I'm still sitting here for Put my feet up the wall, lay down on the floor Maybe play a little piano But the water won't start so I better start swimming Tears well us, I better keep grinnin' The crowd shows up better start singin' about loves great big ocean My best friends down in Mexico Wonder how he's downin, wonder if he knows That I spent the night in a cheap motel by the side of the ocean Except cheap motels aren't cheap anymore 65 bucks and the toilet wouldn't flush And the TV didn't even have a remote Still it felt just like a home Out on the ocean carried on a boat Out on the ocean Drifting on the ocean Floating on the ocean Sailing on the ocean carried on a boat Well I got up early, went to bed late Some folks think it's great, some folks can't relate Some folks dance with the devil I'd rather dance with my fate And take the muses out to dinner We had gospel burners down in Orleans Don't come by later, guess I'll see ya Somewhere down the night Don't worry about me I'll be fine Just tell me your trouble, make me laugh I was sleepin' on your couch for a week and a half I need to jump into spring and roll in the grass Wonder how long I can last In this ocean Loves great big ocean Come on in, waters fine And I don't mind
