I woke up today And went down to the bay To drown all my memories Rinse out my mind And then lie down among the other empty shells
Lay down on the sand With my thoughts out of hand Heard the waves break and whisper Washing secrets ashore Heard the wind at the cliffs Singing songs of no return
I think the ocean stole my watery soul I think the ocean carried it away I think the ocean stole my watery soul I think the ocean left me here astray
I'll wake up no more Make my bed on the shore And the high-tide will come With its cooling embrace And rock me, rock me to sleep, To sleep, to sleep, to sleep, to sleep
(sung by multiple voices in tandem) I think the ocean stole my watery soul I think the ocean carried it away I think the ocean stole my watery soul I think the ocean left me here astray
I woke up today And went down to the bay To drown all my memories Rinse out my mind And lie down among the other empty shells Lie down among the other empty shells Lie down among the other empty shells
