As I wander down roads where I have never been Like a stranger in these cities imagining You are with me a friend when i have fallen down When I'm lost you remind me where I can be found I hear you calling me from far away The whisper on a distant rolling wave Your song a melody I know so well Reminds me I am not alone I close my eyes and I am there with you The rhythm of the tides the skies so blue When I've forgotten where I left my heart The ocean carries me back home I have travelled singing stories of this place I love There's a magic you can feel it even in the dust All the poets and painters who came before Words and pictures only leave me wanting more I hear you calling me from far away The whisper on a distant rolling wave Your song a melody I know so well Reminds me I am not alone I close my eyes and I am there with you The rhythm of the tides the skies so blue When I've forgotten where I left my heart The ocean carries me back home I close my eyes and I am there with you The rhythm of the tides the skies so blue When I've forgotten where I've left my heart The ocean carries me back home
