We spotted the ocean
At the head of the trail
Where are we going
So far awayAnd somebody told me
This is the place
Where every thing's better
And every thing's safeWalk on the ocean
Step on the stones
Flesh becomes water
Wood becomes boneAnd half and hour later
We packed up our things
We said we'd send letters
And all those little things
They knew we were lying
They smiled just the same
And it seemed they'd already
Forgotten we'd cameWalk on the ocean
Step on the stones
Flesh becomes water
Wood becomes boneWalk on the ocean
Step on the stones
Flesh becomes water
Wood becomes boneBack at the homestead
Where the air makes you choke
People don't know you
And trust is a joke
Don't even have pictures
Just memories to hold
Grow sweeter each season
As we slowly grow old
