We spotted the ocean At the head of the trail Where are we goin' So far away And somebody told me That this is the place Where everything's better And everything's safe
CHORUS: Walk on the ocean Step on the stones Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone
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 lyin' But they smiled just the same It seemed they'd already Forgotten we came
(CHORUS X 2)
Back at the homestead Where the air makes you choke And people don't know you And trust is a joke We don't even have pictures Just memories to hold grows sweeter each season as we slowly grow old
