(1) We spotted the ocean
At the head of the trail
Where are we going
That's so far away?
(2) Somebody told me
That this is the place
Where everything's better
And everythings safe
(3) Walk on the ocean
Step on the stones
Flesh becomes water
Wood becomes bone
(1) Half an hour later
We packed up our things
Said we'd send letters
And all those little things
(2) They knew we were lying
But they smiled just the same
Seemed that already
Forgotten we came
(3) 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
(2) Back at the homestead
Where the air makes you choke
People don't know you
And trust is a joke
(2) Don't even have pictures
Just memories to hold
That grow sweeter each season
As we slowly grow old
