Tinyhands - The Ocean lyrics

The sea flat and black The moon round and pale The salt in the air Stings on every inhale You walk to the shore Your feet touch the foam Without looking back You walk in alone In the ocean, you were standing alone The beat of the surf The beat of the drum The beat of your heart They're all beating as one The tide's coming in But it's not here to stay And when it rolls out It will pull you away In the ocean, you were drifting away Did you ever wonder where you'd go? When you abandoned land to join the undertow You slid right in without a splash You never left an epitaph Your name is writ in water not in stone I spent the morning waiting by the phone The coastal wind came in and chilled me to the bone Then I began to understand I can't keep living on the land I walked down to the seashore all alone In the ocean, I'm standing alone
