I always know
The ocean shore
The waves will never stop
I feel inside
The ocean tide
Its moving all the time
I'm pretty sure
The way I am
The sharks are lurking near
And I believe
The albatross
Is flying through the air

Its been too long
Its been a life
Its much too long
And all this time
Its been too long
Since I've seen the ocean

I cannot see
But remembering
The power of the waves
I'd give a chance
And half a ****
To be pulled in by the tide
And I don't care
If sharks are there
I'm really not afraid
And held aloft
On winds far off
I see the albatross

Its been too long
A memory
So very long
The many years
Its been so long
Since I've seen the ocean

Well this is just
A metaphor
I'm drowning on the ocean floor
I think you know
Just what I mean
Its a sight I haven't seen

Its been a long time
