The ocean is rough (but clear)

THE OCEAN IS ROUGH (BUT CLEAR) (E A D F# A# C#)

And suddenly I see a shadow. I know that figure for sure.

Crawling along the breakwall. I know I’ve been here before.

 

And suddenly I am singing. The afternoon is here.

Blowing across the surface. The ocean is rough but clear.

 

It’s harsh but fair. Floating, somehow.

I am right there.

 

And suddenly I can see you. Had to let go to know I love you.

The ocean is rough but clear. I know I am happy here.
