Album: Love, War And The Ghost Of Whitey Ford (2008)

The Ocean

She says that she likes the ocean

There's a house up on the hill
Where you can just make out the ocean
There's a woman there waiting for your hard work
And every breath she takes is like artwork
And I think that I can just about touch the ocean

There's 1500 miles between me and my next real smile
I think that I can just about smell the ocean
I'm full of unquestionable devotion
But I think I put a terrible thing in motion

She says that she likes the ocean

There's a house up on the hill
Where the air smells like the sea
I left my heart up there, rusting in the salty air
I tried to make it home but I lost the key

It's been 600 days since I laid eyes on your gorgeous face
I'm trying to make it home but I lost the key
I'm waiting for the Lord to set me free
I'm wishing that you were standing here next to me

She says that she likes the ocean
She says that she likes the ocean

There's a house up on the hill
(She says that she likes the ocean)
Where you can just make out the ocean
(She says that she likes the ocean)

There's a house up on the hill
It used to feel like home
(She says that she likes the ocean)

There's a house up on the hill
Where the air smells like the sea
(She says that she likes the ocean)
There's a house up on the hill
