Where Does the Ocean Go?

Through a cloudy haze on a sunlit see

We wave them away from the Southern Key

Seventeen hands but the one in charge

Was one fine man from the Bayou Sauvage

Mon cher, senior keep c'est, Caesar

I try not to show him the tear in my eye

I said, "My love, I'll wait for you"

Farewell, sweet boy, from the one by you

Where does the ocean go?

Should I let it take me?

Any second they may wake me

Does anybody know?

Where does the ocean go?

I knew back then as I always know

That sailors pray as the trade winds blow

But the ship went down off the coast of Spain

I read the letter and felt his pain

Where does the ocean go?

Should I let it take me?

Any second they may wake me

Does anybody know?

Where does the ocean go?

Some days I walk on the harbor side

And I watch the sea and the rising tide

And I see him there like a sad mirage

My lost man in a moon du sauvage

Where does the ocean go?

Should I let it take me?

Any second they may wake me

Does anybody know?

Where does the ocean go?

Does anybody know?

Where does the ocean go?
