And all of the lives that I never have led
Is one where I stayed with you, across the sea
I wonder do you still think of me
I carry your image always in my head
Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge
And I've look upon it for so many years
Slowly I'm losing your face
[Chorus:]
Oh the ocean rolls us away, away, away
The ocean rolls us away
Sixes and sevens we live on jet planes
And so many faces I don't know the names
So many friends now and none of them mine
Forgotten as soon as we meet
All of these moments are lost in time
You're caught on my head like a thorn on a vine
To forever torment that I wonder why
Do I wish I'd never known you at all
[Chorus:]
Oh the ocean rolls us away, away, away
The ocean rolls us away
Oh the ocean rolls us away, away, away
The ocean rolls us away
The sun and the moon
An ocean of air
So many voices
But nothing is there
The ghost of you asking me why
Why did I leave
[Chorus:]
Oh the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away
Oh the ocean rows us away away away
And I lose your hand through the waves
I climbed up a mountain, and looked off the edge And all of the lives that I never have led Is one where I stayed with you, across the sea I wonder do you still think of me I carry your image always in my head Folded and yellowed and torn at the edge And I've look upon it for so many years Slowly I'm losing your face [Chorus:] Oh the ocean rolls us away, away, away The ocean rolls us away Sixes and sevens we live on jet planes And so many faces I don't know the names So many friends now and none of them mine Forgotten as soon as we meet All of these moments are lost in time You're caught on my head like a thorn on a vine To forever torment that I wonder why Do I wish I'd never known you at all [Chorus:] Oh the ocean rolls us away, away, away The ocean rolls us away Oh the ocean rolls us away, away, away The ocean rolls us away The sun and the moon An ocean of air So many voices But nothing is there The ghost of you asking me why Why did I leave [Chorus:] Oh the ocean rows us away, away, away The ocean rows us away Oh the ocean rows us away away away And I lose your hand through the waves Explain Request ×
