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 a flame
That we should take this road again

Once more and 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 set down in time
For the fleeting beat of a last divide
