I Wrote a Song About the Ocean

I wrote a song about the ocean

I wrote a song about my love

You know you can't cage what won't cease movin'

But if you want to touch her once, present a shore

Her tears taste just like the ocean

I know I've trembled to their touch

She says that life is made of struggles

And the dead just didn't struggle quit enough

I like to lie down on the ocean

And clear the city from my lungs

Sometimes it rains while I'm driftin'

But then I'm dried off by the sun

Now, some men believe that they are giants

They stomp their feet against the ground

But if they came across an ocean

They wouldn't feel like giants very long

I know my arms are only sails

And my boat is small and made of bone

I can't pretend that I am fearless

As I wait for the wind to come

I like to lie down on the ocean

And clear the city from my lungs

Sometimes it rains while I'm driftin'

Then I'm dried off by the sun, mmm
