Simon Joyner - I Wrote a Song About the Ocean Lyrics

I Wrote A Song About The Ocean


I wrote a song about the ocean
I wrote a song about my love
You know you can't cage what won't cease moving
But if you want to touch her once, present a shore


Her tears taste just like the ocean
I know I've trembled to their touch
She says that life is made of struggles
And the dead just didn't struggle quite enough


I like to lie down on the ocean
And clear the city from my lungs
Sometimes it rains while I'm drifting
But then I'm dried off by the sun


Some men believe that they are giants,
They stomp their feet upon the ground
But if they came across an ocean
They wouldn't feel like giants very long


I know my arms are only sails
And my boat is small and made of bone
I can't pretend that I am fearless
As I wait for the wind to come


I like to lie down on the ocean
And clear the city from my lungs
Sometimes it rains while I'm drifting
But then I'm dried off by the sun
