The Ocean Is Wide

from The Disappearing Dawn Chorus by Dawn Chorus

/

lyrics

On the great white sea
Out of sight of the land
A spirit came to me
And held out its hand

Not a port of call
At home among the tropics
Out of pocket they fall
And I am helpless to stop it

The ocean is wide
and the land does divide it
The ocean is wide
and the land does divide it

How you shiver Louise
Is there a chill on the water?
I'm at that bar in D.C.
I'm still fighting for your honor

The ocean is wide
and the land does divide it
The ocean is wide
and the land does divide it

The spirit came down
And reached into my jacket
And plucked without a sound
My most detestable habit

How you shiver Louise
At the bottom of the current
Will you be waiting for me
Wondering where the hell I went?

The ocean is wide
and the land does divide it
The ocean is wide
and the land does divide it
