Alela Diane - The Ocean 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 a picket fence She planted beds of flowers And 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 call in the tide But this 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 (And) painting all these mermaids Wandering to the seashore 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 call in the tide But the sunset by the sea is in her mind The sunset by the sea is in her mind. These days, you'll find her walking Singing to the deep sea But she will always love him Lost up in the mountain The sun set on the ocean Gathering shells and beach gla** And dancing with the rolling waves It gives her piece of mind But she will always love him Lost up in the mountain (But) she will always love him Lost up in the mountain
