Toad The Wet Sprocket - Walk On The Ocean - Album Version lyrics

We spotted the ocean At the head of the trail Where are we going So far away Somebody told me This is the place Where everything's better And everything's safe Walk on the ocean Step on the stones Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone Half and hour later We packed up our things Said we'd send letters And all those little things And they knew we were lyin' But they smiled just the same It seemed they'd already Forgotten we came Walk on the ocean Step on the stones Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone Walk on the ocean Step on the stones Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone Now back at the homestead Where the air makes you choke And people don't know you Trust is a joke Don't even have pictures Just memories to hold That grows sweeter each season As we slowly grow old
