The Ocean in Her Hand Lyrics by Citizen61

Chasing Shadows

2022

She said “I promised him my ragged heart
He could only promise me the sea
He spent his days in the salty mist
Occasionally brought it home to me.”
He’d slip beneath the calling waves
Wished he could make his home down there
It’s hard to live in a fantasy
When you’re always coming up for air

You can get everything you want
As long as you don’t want too much
You can have it all right now
As long as you’re not in a rush

He promised her the ocean
She tried to stay there with him but could not
Shе found herself behind a lеns
Occasionally showed him what she shot
She poured her soul into photographs
Of waves and vessels taken from land
The ocean held him in its arms
But she could hold the ocean in her hand

So look out to the ocean
You don’t know what the tide could bring in
Keep eyes on the horizon
Your dreams may learn to swim

You can get everything you want
As long as you don’t want too much
You can have it all right now
As long as you’re not in a rush
