as i stare at the ocean alone

Singer:orphaned land

i gazed into your eyes as the train left

and never wrote one single time

deep in my heart i remember

and cry

as faces pass me by

drowned in the loss of the city

from out of the ashes came hope

i lived in an old dirty building

just like the one that no one knows

small room yet here i found shelter

and these walls are a place i call home

mournful my mornings forever

as i stare at the ocean alone

from high above. for a sign out in the cold

and i'll fly

as a dove

as i stare at the ocean alone

misty december

the 50's

i shiver from the wind that blows

show on my room seems so empty

so white

yet i remember all. forever my wounds to be open

oh how i wish you were by my side

i'll play and we'll sing this together

these words that letters can't describe

here you'll find shelter and safety

through the storm

a heaven will rise

children will sing and it makes me feel

embraced by the mediterranean sea

from high above. for a sign out in the cold

and i'll fly

as a dove

as i stare at the ocean alone
