Ocean - John Hiatt

I am the west wind

I am the sea gull

I dance on the waves

As they break on the shore line

The moon is my sorrow

The moon is my lantern

I search for you so long

These dark lonely beaches

Oh where can you be?

This restless sea

These empty nights

Have swallowed me

Look for something

Softer illusions

Soothe these vicious schemes

There is the old one

The wise one, the gold one

I am the hunger

The ache of the fiction

And nestles in bones

That he left for the vultures

Death is my secret

A child my illusion

And life is the suffering

That brings men to know me and.

Oh, where can you be?

This raging age

This rotting life

Is misery

Lost in your body

Cave of you screeming

Longing to be free

Then you have broken

The spine of your madness

Come over here to me
