The Ocean Dar Williams

When I went to your town

On the wide open shore

Oh I must confess I was drawn

I was drawn to the ocean

I thought it spoke to me It said at us

We not churches not schools

Not skating ponds swimming pools

And we have lost people haven we though

Oh that what the ocean can know of a body

And that when I came back to town

This town is a song about you

You don know how lucky you are

You don know how much I adore you

You are the welcoming back from the ocean

I went back to the ocean today

With my books and my papers

I went to the rocks by the ocean

But the weather changed quickly

Oh the ocean said are you trying to find

I don care I not kind

I bludgeoned your sailors

I spat out their keepsakes

Oh it ashes to ashes but always the ocean

But the ocean can come to this town

This town is a song about you

You don know how lucky you are

You don know how much I adore you

You are the welcoming back from the ocean

And the ones that can know you so well

Are the ones that can swallow you whole

I have a good and I have an evil

I thought the ocean the ocean thought nothing

You are the welcoming back from the ocean

I didn go back today I wanted to show you

That I was more land than water

I went to pick flowers I brought them to you

Look at me look at them with their salt up the stem

But you frowned when I smiled and I tried to arrange them

You said me tell you the song of this town

You said closes at five

After that well you just got the bars

You don know how precious you are

Walking around with your little shoes dangling

I am the one who lives with the ocean

It where we came from you know

And sometimes I just want to go back

After a day we drink we drowning

Walk to the ocean wade in with our workboots

Wade in our workboots try to finish the job

You don know how precious you are

I am the one who lives with the ocean

You don know how I am the one

You don know how I am the one
