Testi musica canzoni

When I went to your town on the wide open shore,
Oh I must confess, I was drawn to the ocean,
I thought it spoke to me, it said, "Look at us,
We're not churches, not schools, not skating ponds, swimming pools,
And we have lost people, haven't we though?"
Oh, that's what the ocean can know of a body,
And that's when I came back to town, this town is a song about you.
You don't know how lucky you are, you don't know how much I adore you,
You are the welcoming back from the ocean.

I went back to the ocean today,
With my books and my papers I went to the rocks by the ocean,
But the weather changed quickly, oh the ocean said,
"What are you trying to find, I don't care, I'm not kind,
I've bludgeoned your sailors, I've spat out their keepsakes,
Oh it's ashes to ashes, but always the ocean,"
But the ocean can't come to this town, this town is a song about you.
You don't know how lucky you are, you don't know how much I adore you,
You are the welcoming back from the ocean.

And the ones that can know you so well are the ones that can swallow you
whole.
I have a good and I have an evil, I thought the ocean, the ocean thought
nothing,
You are the welcoming back from the ocean.

I didn't go back today,
I wanted to show you that I was more land than water,
I went to pick flowers. I brought them to you,
Look at me, look at them, with their salt up the stem,
But you frowned when I smiled and I tried to arrange them,
You said, "Let me tell you the song of this town,"
You said, "Everything closes at five. After that, well, you just got the
bars,
You don't know how precious you are, walking around with your little
shoes dangling,
I am the one who lives with the ocean,

It's where we came from, you know, and sometimes I just want to go back.

After a day, we drink 'til we're drowning, walk to the ocean, wade in
with our workboots,
Wade in our workboots, try to finish the job.
You don't know how precious you are, I am the one who lives with the
ocean.
You don't know how I am the one. You don't know how I am the one."
