The Ocean Lyrics by OnceOver

White Raven

2013

So you sailed away this time
I'll wade waist high in the ocean just to say goodbye
Cause we had to, be pulled apart
Our shore's held together by my cross-stitched heart

This distance, this chasm, you've sewn stitches in my heart
Each one's a cherished memory so my heart won't fall apart
The fog of the morning, the dew of the night
The hands that held the child's hand, now grip the wheel tight

Sometimes when the seabirds crow, I feel like there's so much left to know
Is love gained? Is it won or lost? From it sustained, is it worth the cost?
Sometimes when the whistle blows, time slows, and the water flows
Are we waves - though that rise and fall - somehow never exist at all?

So you sailed away this time
I'll wade waist high in the ocean just to say goodbye
Cause we had to, be pulled apart
But our shore's still held together by my cross-stitched heart

Never mind the songs that we use to sing, or the sands that the shore would bring
Or the ships that the winds pulled by, I never knew that's what it's like to die

BOARD YOUR VESSEL AND SET OUT TO SUNLIGHT
BOARD YOUR VESSEL AND SET OUT TO SUNLIGHT
