We spotted the ocean At the head of the trail Where are we going So far away And somebody told me This is the place Where every thing's better And every thing's safe Walk on the ocean Step on the stones Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone And 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 came Walk on the ocean Step on the stones Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone Walk on the ocean Step on the stones Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone Back 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
