Ocean - Tommy Shaw

I’m running from the future

And I’m looking at the past

I keep coming on to detours

And I’m overheated, out of gas

There’s nothing left to keep me here

I’ve tossed it to the wind

And I’m too jacked up for sleeping now

Where the hell would I begin

Take me back to your ocean

Let the waves of mercy wash right over me All my dreams and emotions

Go flooding like a river to your sea

My head is full of eloquence

And reasons not to be The weight of this intelligence is like a stone

That’s crushing me I let it roll right over me

I’m down here in the dirt

I knew it was not meant to be And now I’m back here from the hurt

Take me down to your ocean

Let the waves of mercy wash right over me All my love and devotion

Go roaring like a river to your sea

I’m washing the blues away tonight

Wearing them down

And nothing that you can say about the world

Can change my mind

Floating in your sea

Floating in your sea
