The boy left home at twenty one, and sailed for a Hamburg town.
His mothers smell his guardian, her voice his angels sound.
Thru dark streets he wandered, where flesh invites you in.
Up cold steps at midnight, he dreamed of an ocean of love,
under the sky above.
She saw him there in the corner, with a glass upon his knee.
She lost all sense of danger, in his song her heart broke free.
Laughing voices filled the street, where lovers are dancing home.
Collapsing un---to sheets, there is an ocean of love
under the sky above
Naked as a new-born child, I stood there in our room.
She smiled upon my brokenness, and whispered some sweet tune.
She said, I wrote this for you, take it everywhere you go.
She held me close and sang to me, Ive got an ocean of love,
under the sky above
There is an ocean of love, under the sky above.
Ive got an ocean of love, under the sky above.
