lyrics

There isn’t much time to take
seriously the fact that the
ocean is gradually covering
me
Windswept and cold my jacket
is old a heart so young it’s
eternal my life is a foam
There’s a child crying in house
somewhere up on the
headland, her parents won’t
put her to bed

The nightmares she has are
the waves of the ocean that’s
gradually covering all of us

The sand dunes are shifting
opinions that twist on a bottletop
floating floating away
Her mother is anxious she
pulls up the blankets kisses
good night hopefully dreams
of a safe place
She wakes in the night and the
ocean is calling again, like
some lost forgotten old friend
The friends that she had are
the waves of the ocean that’s
gradually covering all of us

The sand beneath her toes
The speed the water rose
The ocean will pull her under
Cause the ocean is all that she
knows
