Lyrics

We spotted the ocean

At the head of the trail

Where are we goin'

So far away?

And somebody told me

That this is the place

Where everything's better

And everything's safe

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone

Half and hour later

We packed up our things

Said we'd send letters

And all of those little things

They knew we were lyin'

But they smiled just the same

It seemed they'd already

Forgotten we came

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone

Ah

Ah

Ah

Ah

Now, back at the homestead

Where the air makes you choke

And people don't know you

And trust is a joke

Don't even have pictures

Just memories to hold

Grow sweeter each season

As we slowly grow old
