Hiatt, John - Ocean Lyrics






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 (something?).

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.

  1. g.... ....

    such an awsome song

  2. E.... B....

    Sounds operatic, like a Cantor in a Synagogue....

    >This goes WAY back in Hiatt's career (his first album, I think).<

    This is my 1st time hearing this song and I'm a big Hiatt fan...I wonder what he would say if he heard me claim this seems to be very much influenced by Procol Harum, another legendary group from the 60's.

  4. w.... ....

    He sounds a little bit like Tom Waits on this song. Good stuff
