Alela Diane - Ocean, The lyrics

She was always walking, singing to her footsteps Dirt ditch paths and pine cones digging up gla** bottles Rusty springs from feather beds, old hubcaps on the picket fence She planted beds of flowers, stayed outside for hours In spirit she's drifted to the ocean All those years of waiting for the water She's watching long shadows caught in the tide But the sunset by the sea is in her mind The sunset by the sea is in her mind And she was always hoping to someday leave the mountain Domestic chores and children, the darkness of the winter Painting all these mermaids wandering to the sea shore She wanted him to follow but his heart is with the hillside In spirit she's drifted to the ocean All those years of waiting for the water She's watching long shadows caught in the tide But the sunset by the sea is in her mind The sunset by the sea is in her mind
