The Ocean
No-one
Gets out of here alive
Comes a time
When there isn’t any time
Walk in the sunshine
As long as there is light
You’re not an afterthought
Be stupid, be weird, be kind
There are billions of stars up above
Dark matter hides in the sky
Raise a glass to the friends that have gone
We’ll meet them again by and by
So eat the delectable food
Break this bread, sip this wine
Speak the truth that you hold in your heart
And swim in the ocean tonight
Come sit with me
Let me look at your face
I see a story there
Of the whole human race
Everything you’ve done
It’s a database
Everything that was good and bad
Has left it’s trace
Under the cliff
Where the water is blue
That’s where we’ll dive
The current is cool
Watch the seabirds fly
They’ll be calling to you
Every shell you bring up from the depths
Is a jewel
Forget tomorrow
It isn’t here
And yesterday
Is just smoke on the air
Our table
Boasts no silverware
And every little thing we have
We share
