The Ocean

It's been awhile, since you touched the ocean It's been awhile, since you rowed the sea We've washed away, along way to nothin' And back again, come back for somethin' Where sunsets children have wept And mouths have fallen with dust Their hands they scrape to find their home Those tender kisses, all burned away Those tender kisses, all gone away I'm not bringin' back the ocean A million cells, they all molt to nothin' Curled up inside that silver lining We're scattered 'round like precious wishes Watch where we land, we all land with kisses Our dreams are covered in red Where scarlets children have wept Like a moments breath upon the lips Those tender kisses, all burned away Those tender kisses, I'm not bringin' back The ocean, the ocean, the ocean, the ocean
