Ethan Daniel Davidson - Southern Ocean Lyrics

The road is long and the day is getting dark All that salty fog comes drifting in from out past the state ferry dock And it's time It's time There ain't no place now to lay the blame There ain't been any kind of crime It's just goodbye

You're rich girl now you've all you ever wanted Tied to so many strings
But how many tears do you think it took To put all of them diamonds in your rings

Goodbye
Goodbye
You can see the vapor trails of other peoples' jet planes Criss-crossing the sky
And just as the world always turns itself To face the dawn
The next time you hear that old rooster crowing You're gonna find me gone
But you know though
I might say it's forever You know...

There's nothing to say nothing to hear anyway it just wouldn't seem real
It's not even really clear anymore if you can still claim to own the things that you feel
And it's no use
It's no use
It don't matter what kind of move you make in this world Someone's always gonna feel the abuse
And it ain't all good it ain't all good It's gotta be at least half crap
And though I may not care which way you go
That don't mean I don't care where you find yourself at
And just as the world always turns itself To meet the dawn
The next time you turn to meet my eyes
You're gonna find them gone
But you know
though it may seem like forever You know...

And I know you'll make it some day when you finally go ahead And get yourself freed
You're gonna chart that stormy southern ocean between the straits of what you think you want
And the harbor of what you know you need So now that the roads are dark and that Fog has turned to rain
Won't you look for me north of Fairbanks Or rambling the back roads of Spain And just as the world always turns itself To meet the dawn
Someday you're gonna look for all your pretty things
You're gonna find them gone
But you know
Though I may seem like forever
You know I won't be gone that long
