lyrics

You say "Pick up your folly"
I'm melancholy
Nobody knows what happened to me

It took all my remaining strength
To dream at length
My folly, it had grown so heavy

Is there anywhere you'd like to see?
Since it could be
We're captive till we prove that we're free

I just wanna see the ocean
A notion how devoted I'll be

I'm tired of the human race
I crave a place
That's full of life that I can't see

No more shouts of hate and fear
Nothing to hear
But sounds too high and low for my ears

Cockle shells and laughter
That's all I'm after
Rise buoyant from the breadth of the sea

I just wanna see the ocean
A notion how devoted I'll be

Running down
Oh, hear that blessed sound
I've been lost
Oh, in this life I've found

Still, I don't know a thing
But I can sing

sing!

Why are you opposed?
Your body knows
You're bolder when you take off your clothes

I just wanna see the ocean
A notion how devoted I'll be
