I climbed up a mountain, and looked off the edge At all of the lives that I never have led There's 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 looked upon it for so many years Slowly I am loosing your face
[chorus:] Oh the ocean rolls us away, away, away The ocean rolls us away
Six's and seven's we live on jet planes 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 Your caught in my head like a thorn on a vine To forever torment me and I wonder why Do I wish I'd never known you at all
[chorus x2] 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
