Intro -      

                                       
I climbed up a mountain and looked off the edge
                         
At all of the lives that I never have led
                                          
Theres one where I stayed with you across the sea
                              
I wonder, do you still think of me?


I carry your image always in my head
Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge
And I’ve looked upon it for so many years
Slowly I’m losing your face


                              
Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away
                          
The ocean rolls us away


Sixes and sevens we live on jet planes
So many faces I don’t know the names
So many friends now and none of them mine
Forgotten as soon as we meet


All of these moments are lost in time
But you’re caught in my head like a phone on a vine
To forever don’t mend me and I wonder why
Do I wish I’ve never known you at all?


Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away
The ocean rolls us away


Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away
The ocean rolls us away


                               
The sun and the moon, of ocean, of air
                   
So many voices and nothing is there
                                
But the ghost of you asking me why.
                 
Why did I leave?


Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away
The ocean rolls us away


                              
Oh, the ocean rolls us away, away, away
                          
The ocean rolls us away
                                       
And I lose your hand through the waves
