an ocean lies between us

i'm here

taking off at speed

the world's beneath my feet

and an ocean lies between us

up high

a supersonic flight

the jets in overdrive

and an ocean lies between us

and i'm shock-eyed

ocean lies between us

alone you're rising

the sun-kissed horizon away

a white light

another big time deal

my future's all but sealed

and an ocean lies between us

but don't fear

i'll call you up tonight

no excuse or alibi

though an ocean lies between us

and i'm shock-eyed

ocean lies between us

alone you're rising

the sun-kissed horizon away

out late

the hours swirling by

i forgot to call tonight

'cause an ocean lies between us

i'm back home

i slip in for a day

in the morning i leave at 8

and an ocean lies between us

and i'm shock-eyed

ocean lies between us

and i'm shock-eyed

ocean lies between us
