[Verse 1]
When I went to your town on the wide open shore
Oh, I must confess, I was drawn, I was drawn to the ocean
I thought it spoke to me
It said, "Look at us
We're not churches, not schools
Not skating ponds, swimming pools
And we have lost people, haven't we though?"
Oh, that's what the ocean can know of a body

[Pre-Chorus]
And that's when I came back to town
This town is a song about you

[Chorus]
You don't know how lucky you are
You don't know how much I adore you
You are the welcoming back from the ocean

[Verse 2]
I went back to the ocean today
With my books and my papers I went to the rocks by the ocean
But the weather changed quickly
Oh, the ocean said, "What are you trying to find?
I don't care, I'm not kind
I have bludgeoned your sailors
I've spat out their keepsakes
Oh, it's ashes to ashes, but always the ocean"
