James Parr - Down to the Ocean Lyrics

We walk down to the edge
Of the dark restless ocean
We lie still in the sand
Watch the waves come undone
See the sun falling fast
Into the dark blue horizon
Onshore breeze cools the beach
Something still just out of reach

You said "take my hand, come with me to the water
All we had, came from the sea
Lie with me beside the waves 'til we go under
I still think of you and me"

We walk down to the edge
Of the deep endless ocean
From the forests, through the valleys
Across the fields to the shore
Hear the tide racing in
Feel these waves deep inside
Sky of stars, sea of grace
We feel the ocean everyplace

You said "take me down this road back to the water
All we had, came from the sea
Run with me into the waves 'til we go under
I still think of you and me"

We go down to the ocean
Only footprints will remain
We went back to the ocean
Time and time again
