The Ocean

Its been awhile, since you touched the ocean
Its been awhile, since you rowed the sea
Weve washed away, along way to nothin'
And back again, come back for somethin'

Where sunsets children have wept
And mouths have fallen with dust
Their hands they scrape to find their home

Those tender kisses, all burned away
Those tender kisses, all gone away
Im not bringin back the ocean

A million cells, they all molt to nothin
Curled up inside that silver lining
Were scattered 'round like precious wishes
Watch where we land, we all land with kisses

Our dreams are covered in red
Where scarlets children have wept
Like a moments breath upon the lips

Those tender kisses, all burned away
Those tender kisses, Im not bringin back
The ocean, the ocean, the ocean, the ocean
