Ocean

lyrics

Ocean
I was thinking of the beach in Bondi
the rain was on my shoulders
she said ‘Everything will kill you slowly’
I said ‘Maybe so, but most of those
can’t hurt as much as losing you’

I remember the sea

I take a moment to begin
drawing on napkins
deciphering, remembering
Did it make a difference
to be told it was time to go
or am I just the same?

The right side of the ocean knew my name you know

The rain sweeps in late that night
the wind speaking of summer skies and plane flights it’s closing time at the beachside
tables and chairs turned upside down
a new broom, the storm sweeps me out
the summer heat, the red-eyed dawn and next it was a hurricane
you should test the stone bridge before you start walking on it
you should know you can’t get back the way you came
You should know by now You shoulda let it go by now You should know by now You shoulda let it go by now
I jumped into the ocean the ocean took me back forgiveness and kindness salt and water on my skin
I jumped into the ocean the ocean took me back knew who I was
and where I’d been
