She was always walking, Singing to her footsteps Dirt ditched paths and pine cones Digging up glass bottles
Rusty springs from feather beds Old hubcaps on a picket fence She planted beds of flowers Stayed outside for hours
In spirit she's drifted to the ocean All those years of waiting for the water She's watching long shadows call in the tide But the sunset by the sea is in her mind The sunset by the sea is in her mind
And she was always hoping To someday leave the mountain Domestic chores and children The darkness of the winter [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/alela_diane/the_ocean.html ] Painting all these mermaids Wandering to the seashore She wanted him to follow But his heart is with the hillside
In spirit she's drifted to the ocean All those years of waiting for the water She's watching long shadows call in the tide But the sunset by the sea is in her mind The sunset by the sea is in her mind.
These days you'll find her walking Singing to the deep sea But she will always love him Lost up in the mountains
The sun set on the ocean Gathering shells and beach glass Dancing with the rolling waves It gives her peace of mind
But she will always love him Lost up in the mountains
For she will always love him Lost up in the mountains
