Every day I listen to the surging tide And I always wonder why the sea's so wide Miles of salty water, endless skies above Stretch out far between me and the one I love Rockin', rollin' ocean With your briny foam Bring my sweetheart back to me Bring my darlin' home Every night I wander down beside the sea Calling to the wind to blow her back to me Now my arms are empty since she sailed away Only stars to hear me when I kneel and pray Rockin', rollin' ocean With your briny foam Bring my sweetheart back to me Bring my darlin' home ♪ Little drops of water, little grains of sand Make a wide, wide ocean in a lonely land When a new ship anchors and she don't appear I make the ocean wider with another tear Rockin', rollin' ocean With your briny foam Bring my sweetheart back to me Bring my darlin' home
