The Ocean - Dar Williams[00:00:00]
When I went to your town[00:00:09]
On the wide open shore[00:00:11]
Oh I must confess I was drawn[00:00:16]
I was drawn to the ocean[00:00:18]
I thought it spoke to me It said "Look at us[00:00:21]
We're not churches not schools[00:00:25]
Not skating ponds swimming pools[00:00:27]
And we have lost people haven't we though "[00:00:30]
Oh that's what the ocean can know of a body[00:00:35]
And that's when I came back to town[00:00:39]
This town is a song about you[00:00:43]
You don't know how lucky you are[00:00:46]
You don't know how much I adore you[00:00:50]
You are the welcoming back from the ocean[00:00:54]
I went back to the ocean today[00:01:05]
With my books and my papers[00:01:10]
I went to the rocks by the ocean[00:01:12]
But the weather changed quickly[00:01:15]
Oh the ocean said "What are you trying to find[00:01:18]
I don't care I'm not kind[00:01:22]
I've bludgeoned your sailors[00:01:23]
I've spat out their keepsakes[00:01:26]
Oh it's ashes to ashes but always the ocean"[00:01:29]
But the ocean can't come to this town[00:01:34]
This town is a song about you[00:01:37]
You don't know how lucky you are[00:01:41]
You don't know how much I adore you[00:01:44]
You are the welcoming back from the ocean[00:01:48]
And the ones that can know you so well[00:02:23]
Are the ones that can swallow you whole[00:02:26]
I have a good and I have an evil[00:02:30]
I thought the ocean the ocean thought nothing[00:02:33]
You are the welcoming back from the ocean[00:02:38]
I didn't go back today I wanted to show you[00:02:49]
That I was more land than water[00:02:54]
I went to pick flowers I brought them to you[00:02:57]
Look at me look at them with their salt up the stem[00:03:01]
But you frowned when I smiled and I tried to arrange them[00:03:05]
You said "Let me tell you the song of this town"[00:03:12]
You said "Everything closes at five[00:03:17]
After that well you just got the bars"[00:03:19]
You don't know how precious you are[00:03:23]
Walking around with your little shoes dangling[00:03:26]
I am the one who lives with the ocean[00:03:30]
It's where we came from you know[00:03:35]
And sometimes I just want to go back[00:03:37]
After a day we drink 'till we're drowning[00:03:40]
Walk to the ocean wade in with our workboots[00:03:44]
Wade in our workboots try to finish the job[00:03:48]
You don't know how precious you are[00:03:52]
I am the one who lives with the ocean[00:03:56]
You don't know how I am the one[00:03:59]
You don't know how I am the one[00:04:03]
