We spotted the ocean At the head of the trail Where are we goin' So far away? And somebody told me That this is the place Where everything's better And everything's safe Walk on the ocean Step on the stones Flesh becomes water Wood becomes bone Half an hour later We packed up our things We said we'd send letters And all of those little things They knew we were lying But they smiled just the same 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 Now, back at the homestead Where the air makes you choke And 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
