the ocean lyrics

I climbed up a mountain and looked off the edge
And all of the lives that I never have led
Is 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 look upon it for so many years
Slowly I'm losing your face

Oh, the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away

Sixes and sevens, we live on jet planes
And 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
But you're caught in my head like a thorn on a vine
Took forever to amend me and I wonder why
Do I wish I've never known you at all

Oh, the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away
Oh, the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away

The sun and the moon, an ocean of air
So many voices and nothing is there
But the ghost of you asking me why
Why did I leave?

Oh, the ocean rows us away, away, away
The ocean rows us away
Oh, the ocean rows us away, away, away
And I lose your hand through the waves
