Todd Nichols - Walk on the Ocean lyrics

[Verse 1: Glen Phillips] We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail Where are we going so far away? And somebody told me that this is the place Where everything's better, everything's safe [Chorus: Todd Nichols and Dean Dinning] Walk on the ocean Step on the stones Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone [Verse 2: Glen Phillips] And half an hour later, we packed up our things We said we'd send letters and all of those little things And they knew we were lying, but they smiled just the same It seemed they'd already forgotten we'd came [Chorus, 2x: Todd, Dean and Glen] [Verse 3: Glen Phillips] Now back at the homestead, where the air makes you choke People don't know you and trust is a joke We don't even have pictures, just memories to hold That grow sweeter each season as we slowly grow old [Chorus, 2x: Todd, Dean and Glen]
