Forever I will be the ocean child
Walking with pocketfuls of unpolished stones
Taking time as if I had an endless supply
Never reaching a solution, I linger by the tide
Somehow hoping a change
Swells up like thick waves
Tomorrow calls my name but it’s here I have to wait and wait
Drifting in the wild
I am the ocean child
Eternally I chase the forest child
His love takes the form of fruiting spring
He only sings to hidden things
He can’t find a way to catch my eyes
Never finding a solution
He has faded from my sight
Somehow he hopes for change
To come down like a rain
Tomorrow calls his name but it’s there he has to wait and wait
Drifting in the wild
He is the forest child
And we are separated by these endless miles
