Sometimes when the moon breaks down
I look around and see the ground
Coming hard in to a collision
After just another bad decision
Taking doses of happiness
Between those draughts of loneliness
Could be worse of I suppose
But I don’t know where the ocean goes


I just, want to know
I just, cannot go
All the way to heaven’s gate
And return saying it was fate


Sometimes when a petal falls
The sky begins to softly bawl
And water droplets fall on me
Slowly running to the sea
And there they find a little home
Amidst there comrades not alone
They’re still happy it just shows
But I don’t know where the ocean goes


I just, want to see
I just, want to be
But I can’t swim inside a boat
While wearing all these stupid coats


Sometimes as a leaf gives love
It gives the world around a shove
And everything just steps away
Let the leaf soak back up the day
Then descend and on a streams
Takes a path through water’s dream
And into the uncharted depths it goes
But I don’t know where the ocean goes


I just, want to cry
I just, want to die
But I can’t live this way no more
always hidin’ behind the door


Sometimes when things are right
A person kinda wants to write
But that only takes it all
Linking soul into the scrawl
So when the ink is gone nothing’s left
Running off paper and through a cleft
And to a place where no one knows
But I don’t know where the ocean goes


I just, can not think
I’m just, on the brink
Of finding something I can’t see
Is it them, or you, or me?


Sometimes when the sky is white
The gulls look left but turn right
And take some food from garbage tin
A place where men are dwelling in
But is that starfish in the sand
A beast of water or of land
And what of all the seeds it sows
But I don’t know where the ocean goes


I just, need to sleep
I just, need to seep
Out my mind and through my head
To the fire cold and dead


Sometimes when I’m at the ocean
My thinking goes askew and I get the notion
That I can see forever and to the hearts
Of everyone I care about in parts
Endless water part of me
Part of you and a part a sea
A place to absorb your life’s lows
But I don’t know where the ocean goes
