The Balancing Act - Between Two Oceans lyrics

The national product Flows across the water In comes the tanker And out goes the dollar There's rice and tools and textiles I walk around and try to smile She's been on the ship meanwhile Temporarily forever The docks breathe rhythmically The docks breathe Rhythmically Impore export Impore export Goods move back and forth Ships sail from the north Ships depart Without emotion And I'm stuck here Between two oceans I watch the metals shipping out She has copper through her hair She's breathing in pure atmosphere I smell diesel in the air Exports see the world But I'm domestic product And I'm of no great import To this girl across the dateline The docks breathe rhythmically The docks breathe Rhythmically Impore export Impore export Goods move back and forth Ships sail from the north Ships depart Without emotion And I'm stuck here Between two oceans If you see a girl Clutching a pa**port Up on the top deck Holding a hand rail Tell her I'm going blind Salt water in my eye Since her ship curved out of sight Over the horizon
