I need a new song, shift it all around, like the ocean When the riptide gets you down Take some, from the ones you love, in the old town When the riptide gets you down New song, shift it all around like the ocean When the riptide gets you down Take some from the ones you love, in the old town When the riptide gets you down Sing I can still breathe I can still walk I can still see neilgen walking up the dock I remember when I carved my name into your cedar tree Sing while I'm walking sabbys on the rocks With a new reel flashing casting as he talks He came home from the city When they choked out all of his dreams And I guess you could say that this is me And I guess that these folks are the only ones I believe Everywhere I go I'm going to the ocean Every river flows into the ocean The water in my soul is going to the ocean I sing the great unknown I'm singing to the ocean Sing I can still breathe I can still walk I can still see neilgen walking up the dock I remember when I carved my name into your cedar tree Sing while I'm walking sabbys on the rocks With a new reel flashing casting as he talks He came home from the city When they choked out all of his dreams And I guess you could say that this is me And I guess that these folks are the only ones I believe I need a new song, shift it all around, like the ocean When the riptide gets you down
