English III 5/13: "I Wrote a Song about the Ocean" by Simon Joyner

I wrote a song about the ocean I wrote a song about my love

I know you can't cage what once ceased movin'

If you wanna touch her once present ashore

Her tears taste just like the ocean

I know I tremble to their touch

She says that life is made of struggles

and the dead just didn't struggle quite enough

I like to lie down on the ocean

and clear the city from my lungs

Sometimes it rains while I'm driftin'

then I'm dried off by the sun

Now some men believe that they are giants

They stomp their feet against the ground

But if they came across a ocean

they wouldn't feel like giants very long

I know my arms are only sails

and my boat is small and made of bone

I can't pretend that I am fearless

as I wait for the wind to come

I like to lie down on the ocean

and clear the city from my lungs

Sometimes it rains while I'm driftin'

and then I'm dried off by the sun

Mhmm
