When I Went To Your Town On The Wide Open Shore

Oh I Must Confess, I Was Drawn, I Was Drawn To The Ocean

I Thought It Spoke To Me, It Said, "Look At Us,

We're Not Churches, Not Schools, Not Skating Ponds, Swimming Pools

And We Have Lost People, Haven't We Though?"

Oh, That's What The Ocean Can Know Of A Body

And That's When I Came Back To Town, This Town Is A Song About You

You Don't Know How Lucky You Are, You Don't Know How Much I Adore You

You Are The Welcoming Back From The Ocean.

But You Frowned When I Smiled And I Tried To Arrange Them

You Said, "Let Me Tell You The Song Of This Town"

You Said, "Everything Closes At Five. After That, Well, You Just Got The Bars

You Don't Know How Precious You Are, Walking Around With Your Little Shoes Dangling

I Am The One Who Lives With The Ocean.



It's Where We Came From, You Know, And Sometimes I Just Want To Go Back

After A Day, We Drink Til We're Drowning, Walk To The Ocean, Wade In With Our Workboots

Wade In Our Workboots, Try To Finish The Job.

You Don't Know How Pre
