the ocean road

i walked out

one morning fair

by the ocean road to linger there

and the sun was up

i saw a sea of blue

but it was night in my heart for you

and the turning wave filled my empty thoughts

with a homing power that washed a sea of loss

i saw my light

i held the flame

that we should take this road again

once more than i can see it all again

like i was young

strong in heart and dreams

once more i'm staking all that's real

where the waters washed us clear

soaring like a bird

where do we go

where do we go

on and over all we know

where do we go

where do we go

still the ocean rolled round this smallest sphere

through an endless void

to fade and disappear

our fickle hearts sat down in time

for the fleeting beat of a last divide

once more than i can see it all again

like i was young

strong in heart and dreams

once more i'm staking all that's real

where the waters washed us clear

soaring like a bird

where do we go

where do we go

on and over all we know

where do we go

where do we go
