Once Upon a Time There Was an Ocean - Paul Simon[00:00:00]
Written by:Paul Simon/Brian Eno[00:00:01]
Once upon a time there was an ocean[00:00:19]
But now it's a mountain range[00:00:23]
Something unstoppable set into motion[00:00:28]
Nothing is different but everything's changed[00:00:33]
It's a dead end job and you gets tired of sittin'[00:00:46]
And it's like a nicotine habit you're[00:00:50]
Always thinking about quittin' and[00:00:53]
I think about quittin' every day of the week[00:00:56]
When I look out my window it's brown and it's bleak[00:01:00]
Outta here[00:01:05]
How am I gonna get outta here[00:01:06]
I'm thinking outta here[00:01:09]
When am I gonna get outta here[00:01:11]
And when will I cash in my lottery ticket[00:01:14]
And bury my past with my burdens and strife[00:01:19]
I want to shake every limb in the garden of EDEN[00:01:23]
And make every love the love of my life[00:01:29]
I figure that once upon a time I was an ocean[00:01:32]
But now I'm a mountain range[00:01:37]
Something unstoppable set into motion[00:01:42]
Nothing is different but everything's changed[00:01:47]
Found a room in the heart of the city down by the bridge[00:01:57]
Hot plate and TV and beer in the fridge[00:02:01]
But I'm easy I'm open that's my gift[00:02:06]
I can flow with the traffic I can drift with the drift[00:02:10]
Home again[00:02:15]
Naw never going home again[00:02:16]
Think about home again[00:02:19]
I never think about home[00:02:21]
But then comes a letter from home[00:02:23]
The handwriting's fragile and strange[00:02:29]
Something unstoppable set into motion[00:02:34]
Nothing is different but everything's changed[00:02:39]
The light through the stained glass was cobalt and red[00:02:59]
And the frayed cuffs and collars were[00:03:08]
Mended by haloes of golden thread[00:03:12]
The choir sang once upon a time there was an ocean[00:03:16]
And all the old hymns and family names came[00:03:21]
Fluttering down as leaves of emotion[00:03:26]
As nothing is different but everything's changed[00:03:31]
