By the Ocean

from First Flight by Oakes & Smith

/

lyrics

I was young, waiting for the sun
In the morning by the ocean
I would dream, writing poetry
In the early dawn by the sea

Half asleep, a promise to keep
Diving down as deep as the sea
I met myself searching for seashells
The water swelled and then crashed & fell

I would open up down by the ocean
I would wake up from sleep by the sea
As the light-up-the-sky by the rising sun
Would stir up the heart inside me

Sand in hand, drifting on dry land
Washed by waves as I tried to stand
Filled to the full by the cry of gulls
I was pulled inside the tide's lull
