All around
I see you're under my skin
Cruel to say
I've known the best of my life

Never again to hear
The rivers' song so clear

Everyday's another scene
The world around and everything for you
An open door a cauldron of
Waves rush in through every house for all
So they say another lie:
'Love's a rumor
But love will die'
We're lost and wandering

Deep in the ocean
There lies a wave for you

When you hit the ground
It's hard to speak
But its who you are
A shining star
Go
Tell the millions begin!
We'll run through the fields
The turning of wheels
Down with the buildings
Worlds on your shoulders
Climb through the wasteland
Wait for the sky to remind you
These things are true

Everyday's another scene

About the day

If I could have chosen where god would hide his heaven,
I would wish for it to be in the salt and swell of the ocean.
Carried by the currents to all continents shores.
Reaching into depths where the sun’s light has never shown.
Mixed with algae and coral.
Breathed in by sharks and dophins.
Sailed by tanker ships, private yachts, swam in by tourists.
Working its way up through inlets, lakes, and rivers, swamps, and estuaries.
Down through limestone into the aquifer.
Purified by the county, pumped through pipes and out faucets.
Fillied into a glass to meet the thirst of our children.

If I could have chosen, I would have been born a woman. My mother once told me she would have named me Laura.
I would grow up to be strong and beautiful like her. One day I’d find an honest man to make my husband.
We would have two children, build our home on the Gulf of Mexico.
Our family would spend hot summer days at the beach together.
The sun would kiss our skin as we played in the sand and water.
We would know we loved each other without having to say it.
At night we would sleep with the windows of our house left open.
Letting the cool ocean air soothe the sunburned shoulders of our children.

There is an Ocean in my soul where the waters do not curve.

Am I alone in this?
Never a night where I can sleep myself 'til day.
We must try to figure it out, figure it out.
It won't be that easy.
We lost it somehow.

You come over unannounced.
Silence broken by your voice in the dark.
I need you here tonight,
Just like the ocean needs the waves.

Oh, the night becomes the space that's somewhere in between
What I feel and what I'm told.
Sitting on the shoreline trying to figure it out, figure it out.
To find out the meaning
And reach it somehow.

You come over unannounced.
Silence broken by your voice in the dark.
I need you here tonight,
Just like the ocean needs the waves.

Fall around me now,
Like, stars that shine and brighten the way.
I need you here tonight,
Just like this night it needs the rain.

The season has changed.
The wind, it blows colder now.(colder now)
The clouds are raised,
The rain it falls harder now, all around.

You come over unannounced.
Silence broken by your voice in the dark.
I need you here tonight,
Just like the ocean needs the waves.
Fall around me now.(So fall around me now)
Like stars that shine and brighten the way.
I need you here tonight,
Just like this night it needs the rain.(Rain)

(You come)Over unannounced,(Will you come over)
Silence broken by your voice in the dark.
I need you here tonight,
Just like the ocean needs the waves.
Just like the stars that fall around me now.

We've done four already but now we're steady
and then they went: One, two, three, four

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door
Got a date, can't be late for the high hopes hailla ball.
Oh, uh-huh, ah-ow, yeah

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more
Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day
I use to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way.

I don't know, ah-ow yeah

na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na

Sitting round singing songs til the night turns into day
Used to sing on the mountains but the mountains washed away
Now I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heart
She is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start.

Oh yeah
It sure is fine
Blow my mind
When the tears are going down

Yeah Yeah

Oh so good

A picture in grey
Dorian Gray
Just me by the sea

And I felt like a star
I felt the world could go far
If they listened
To what I said

Washes my feet
Washed the feet
Splashes the soul of my shoes

Here comes the ocean
And the waves down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
And the waves, where have they been?

Silver and black at night
Kiss to a summer's night
An empty splendid castle

Bowing alone at night
Princess has had a fright
Madness is out of love for her

Here come the waves
Down by the shore
Washing the soul of the body
That comes from the depth of the sea

Here comes the ocean
And the waves down by the sea
Here comes the ocean
And the waves, where have we been?

Don't swim tonight my love
The tide is out my love
..

Only..
In which rulers..
Revel in heaven's justice

Here come the waves
And save for a scream
There's much like a song
To be heard in the wind that blows from the sea

Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves
Here come the waves

Ooh ooh ooh

If I had to paint a pictures
To show the world how love can really be
I would use the brightest colours
To create a vision of harmony
It would be a reality
'Cause its only what's inside of my heart
You would see I've always loved you right from the very start

Tell me what is the colour of love?
What do you see?
Is it warm is it tender when you thing of me
I see the colour of love when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting of love forever true

The colours of the rainbow turn grey whenever you're so far away
It changes like the seasons
You're the reason it happens that way
What you see are colours of emotion
Reflecting what I feel deep inside
Now I'd like to take a look at emotions that you hide

Tell me what is the colour of love?
What do you see?
Is it warm is it tender when you thing of me
I see the colour of love when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect painting of love forever true

And oh though many may try to keep us apart
Oh the colours that I see in you will shine a light to see us through
No matter what the world will do I'll always love you Ooh ooh ooh

Oh what is the colour of love oh tell me tell me
Oh I wanna know I wanna know - when I'm thinking of you
As a picture perfect paining of love forever true

When I went to your town on the wide open shore,
Oh I must confess, I was drawn, I was drawn to the ocean,
I thought it spoke to me, it said, Look at us,
We're not churches, not schools, not skating ponds, swimming pools,
And we have lost people, haven't we though?
Oh, that's what the ocean can know of a body,
And that's when I came back to town, this town is a song about you.
You don't know how lucky you are, you don't know how much I adore you,
You are the welcoming back from the ocean.

I went back to the ocean today,
With my books and my papers I went to the rocks by the ocean,
But the weather changed quickly, oh the ocean said,
What are you trying to find, i dont' care, I'm not kind,
I've bludgeoned your sailors, I've spat out their keepsakes,
Oh it's ashes to ashes, but always the ocean,
But the ocean can't come to this town, this town is a song about you.
You don't know how lucky you are, you don't know how much I adore you,
You are the welcoming back from the ocean.

And the ones that can know you so well are the ones that can swallow you whole.
I have a good and I have an evil, I thought the ocean, the ocean thought nothing,
You are the welcoming back from the ocean.

I didn't go back today,
I wanted to show you that I was more land than water,
I went to pick flowers. I brought them to you,
Look at me, look at them, with their salt up the stem,
But you frowned when I smiled and I tried to arrange them,
You said, Let me tell you the song of this town,
You said, Everything closes at five. After that, well, you just got the bars,
You don't know how precious you are, walking around with your little shoes dangling,
I am the one who lives with the ocean,

It's where we came from, you know, and sometimes I just want to go back,
After a day, we drink 'til we're drowning, walk to the ocean, wade in with our workboots,
Wade in our workboots, try to finish the job.
You don't know how precious you are, I am the one who lives with the ocean.
You don't know how I am the one. You don't know how I am the one.

I climbed up a mountain, and looked off the edge
At all of the lives that I never have led.
There's one where I stayed with you, across the sea.
I wonder, do you still think of me?
I carry your image always in my head,
Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge.
And I've look upon it for so many years.
Slowly I'm losing your face.

Oh, the ocean rows us away, away, away.
The ocean rows us away.

Sixes and sevens, we live on jet planes.
So many faces, I don't know the names.
So many friends now, and none of them mine.
Forgotten as soon as we meet.
All of these moments are lost in time.
But you're caught in my head like a thorn on a vine,
To forever torment me, and I wonder why
Do I wish I'd never known you at all?

Oh, the ocean rows us away, away, away.
The ocean rows us away.
Oh, the ocean rows us away, away, away.
The ocean rows us away.

The sun and the moon, an ocean of air,
So many voices, and nothing is there
But the ghost of you asking me why,
Why did I leave?

Oh, the ocean rows us away, away, away.
The ocean rows us away.
Oh, the ocean rows us away, away, away.
And I lose your hand through the waves.

Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rain
Hitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grain
Got no time to pack my bag, my foots outside the door
Got a date, can't be late for the high hopes hailla ball.

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, play for me and play a whole lot more
Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day
I use to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way. I don't know

na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Oh yeah
It sure is fine
Blow my mind
When the tears are going down

Yeah Yeah

Oh so good

when you wake what is it that you think of most?
when your bed is empty do you really sleep alone?
if I imagine you, body next to another
all around me, new love and it makes me sad
all around me, feel assured that you'll be back
if I imagine you, body next to another

stop crying to the ocean
stop crying over me
stop worrying over nothing
stop worrying over me
so it's been so long since you said,
well I know what I want, and what I want's right here with you.

on the drive back here, I was worrying over nothing
on the drive back there, tears spilling over something
when I imagine you, body next to another
in the door, and you're there, and you're sorry for the fright
in the door, can I hear saying you don't wanna fight?
when I imagine you, body next to another

stop crying to the ocean
stop crying over me
stop worrying over nothing
stop worrying over me
so it's been so long since you said
well I know what I want, and what I want's right here with you.
it's been so long since you said,
well I know what I want, and what I want's right here with you.

in a flash it's back to you, just brought attention to the mess
in a flash, you're on top, begging me to understand
if I imagine you, body next to another
you drop in for a minute
and I'm sorry that I didn't drop in sooner just to see you
and see what you've been doing
if I imagine you, body next to another

so it's been so long since you said,
well I know what I want, and what I want's right here with you.
it’s been so long since you said,
well I know what I want, and what I want's right here with you.
it’s been so long since you said,
well I know what I want, and what I want's right here with you.
it’s been so long since you said,
well I know what I want, and what I want's right here with you.

here's a house up on the hill, where you can just make out the ocean
There's a women there waiting for your hard work
All and every breath she takes is like artwork
And i think that i can just about touch the ocean.

There's 1500 miles between me and my next real smile
I think i can just about smell the ocean
I'm full of unquestionable devotion,
But i think i put a terrible thing in motion
The ocean...

There's a house up on the hill where the air smells like the sea
I left my heart up there rusting inside the salty air
I tried to make it home but i lost the key
It's been 600 days since i laid eyes on your gorgeous face
I'm trying to make it home but i lost the key
I'm waiting for the lord to set me free
I'm wishing that you were standing here right next to me

There's a house up on the hill (the ocean)
Where you can just make out the ocean
There's a house up on the hill
It used to feel like home
There's a house up on the hill where the air smells like the sea (the ocean)
There's a house up on the hill...

]](hes saying _something_ here)
Yeah yeah!

Do wop a diddly diddly........

Oh, so good!

You lead me down to the ocean
So lead me down by the ocean

Y'know it's been a long time, you always leave me tongue-tied
And all this time's for us, I love you just because

You lead me down to the ocean
The world is fine by the ocean

Y'know this time's for real, it helps the heart to heal
Y'know it breaks the seal of the talisman that harms
And so you look at me and need.. the space that means as much to me

So lead me down to the ocean
Our world is fine by the ocean

Y'know the way it is in life, it's so hard to live up to
So why are you still dressed in your mournin' suit? I assume, I assume

You'll lead me down, to the ocean
Don't leave me down by the ocean, the ocean

Here comes the wave, here comes the wave
Here comes the wave, down by the ocean
The ocean, the ocean, the ocean, the ocean [Repeat]
