Only the ocean

ONLY THE OCEAN (D A D F# B E, capo 2)

Only the ocean was watching. I felt your hand slide into mine.

Circling, we are following ourselves through the night.

 

Only the ocean, reflecting the choices we’ve made for ourselves.

Tracing the path of the stars as they pass over our heads.

 

Only we can tell ourselves. Tell me why.

As if stars are swimming through an empty sky.

 

Only the ocean, absorbing the things we can’t carry ourselves.

Watching as everything falls through our hands.
