Lyrics:
When I went to your town on the wide open shore, Oh I must confess, I was drawn, I was drawn to the ocean, I thought it spoke to me, it said, 'look at us, We're not churches, not schools, not skating ponds, swimming pools, And we have lost people, haven't we though? ' Oh, that's what the ocean can know of a body, And that's when I came back to town, this town is a song about you. You don't know how lucky you are, you don't know how much I adore you, You are the welcoming back from the ocean. I went back to the ocean today, With my books and my papers I went to the rocks by the ocean, But the weather changed quickly, oh the ocean said, 'what are you trying to find, I don't' care, I'm not kind, I've bludgeoned your sailors, I've spat out their keepsakes, Oh it's ashes to ashes, but always the ocean, ' But the ocean can't come to this town, this town is a song about you. You don't know how lucky you are, you don't know how much I adore you, You are the welcoming back from the ocean. And the ones that can know you so well are the ones that can swallow you whole. I have a good and I have an evil, I thought the ocean, the ocean thought nothing, You are the welcoming back from the ocean. I didn't go back today, I wanted to show you that I was more land than water, I went to pick flowers. I brought them to you, Look at me, look at them, with their salt up the stem, But you frowned when I smiled and I tried to arrange them, You said, 'let me tell you the song of this town, ' You said, 'everything closes at five. After that, well, you just got the bars, You don't know how precious you are, walking around with your little shoes dangling, I am the one who lives with the ocean, It's where we came from, you know, and sometimes I just want to go back, After a day, we drink 'til we're drowning, walk to the ocean, wade in with our workboots, Wade in our workboots, try to finish the job. You don't know how precious you are, I am the one who lives with the ocean. You don't know how I am the one. You don't know how I am the one. '
