  1. The Ocean

From the recording The Ocean

Lyrics

When I step into the river
When I’m buried by the sand
No I wont be coming home again, no I won’t step foot on land
See the ocean has a calling
It only whispers to a few
And though I hear it moaning I know it doesn’t call to you

So when the ocean finally takes me
To a kingdom far away
Know I won’t be coming home my love
Nothing can make me stay
Wash away my sins, wash away my dreams
Wash away my memories and everything I’ve seen

See it happened to me early
‘tween the ages of 5 and 10
And in my land locked state I knew that it would call again
And between then and now
I never entertained the thought
That anything could keep me here no matter what I’ve got

So when the ocean finally takes me
To a kingdom far away
Know I won’t be coming home my love
Nothing can make me stay
Wash away my sins, wash away my dreams
Wash away my memories and everything I’ve seen

I didn’t mean to keep you here
I didn’t mean to lie
I didn’t mean to answer wrong when you asked me why
I didn’t mean to make you cry
I didn’t mean to die
I didn’t mean to lead you on between ocean and sky

So when the ocean finally take me
To a kingdom far away
Know I won’t be coming home my love
Nothing can make me stay
Wash away my sins, wash away my dreams
Wash away my memories and everything I’ve seen
Wash away my sins, wash away my dreams
Wash away my memories and everything I’ve seen
