《The Ocean》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ocean - Dar Williams

[00:00:09] When I went to your town

[00:00:11] On the wide open shore

[00:00:16] Oh I must confess I was drawn

[00:00:18] I was drawn to the ocean

[00:00:21] I thought it spoke to me It said "Look at us

[00:00:25] We're not churches not schools

[00:00:27] Not skating ponds swimming pools

[00:00:30] And we have lost people haven't we though "

[00:00:35] Oh that's what the ocean can know of a body

[00:00:39] And that's when I came back to town

[00:00:43] This town is a song about you

[00:00:46] You don't know how lucky you are

[00:00:50] You don't know how much I adore you

[00:00:54] You are the welcoming back from the ocean

[00:01:05] I went back to the ocean today

[00:01:10] With my books and my papers

[00:01:12] I went to the rocks by the ocean

[00:01:15] But the weather changed quickly

[00:01:18] Oh the ocean said "What are you trying to find

[00:01:22] I don't care I'm not kind

[00:01:23] I've bludgeoned your sailors

[00:01:26] I've spat out their keepsakes

[00:01:29] Oh it's ashes to ashes but always the ocean"

[00:01:34] But the ocean can't come to this town

[00:01:37] This town is a song about you

[00:01:41] You don't know how lucky you are

[00:01:44] You don't know how much I adore you

[00:01:48] You are the welcoming back from the ocean

[00:02:23] And the ones that can know you so well

[00:02:26] Are the ones that can swallow you whole

[00:02:30] I have a good and I have an evil

[00:02:33] I thought the ocean the ocean thought nothing

[00:02:38] You are the welcoming back from the ocean

[00:02:49] I didn't go back today I wanted to show you

[00:02:54] That I was more land than water

[00:02:57] I went to pick flowers I brought them to you

[00:03:01] Look at me look at them with their salt up the stem

[00:03:05] But you frowned when I smiled and I tried to arrange them

[00:03:12] You said "Let me tell you the song of this town"

[00:03:17] You said "Everything closes at five

[00:03:19] After that well you just got the bars"

[00:03:23] You don't know how precious you are

[00:03:26] Walking around with your little shoes dangling

[00:03:30] I am the one who lives with the ocean

[00:03:35] It's where we came from you know

[00:03:37] And sometimes I just want to go back

[00:03:40] After a day we drink 'till we're drowning

[00:03:44] Walk to the ocean wade in with our workboots

[00:03:48] Wade in our workboots try to finish the job

[00:03:52] You don't know how precious you are

[00:03:56] I am the one who lives with the ocean

[00:03:59] You don't know how I am the one

[00:04:03] You don't know how I am the one
