Verse 1
Waves are whispering under twilight skies
Silver moon hangs like a dream in your eyes
I walk along where the tide meets sand
The stars above feel close to hand
A fishers song floats far and near
Reminds me of you in another year
The water holds a thousand tales
Like lines in time like drifting sails
(Who by the river first saw the moon When did the moon first shine on man)

Pre-Chorus
I asked the sea if it recalls your name
It smiled in silence but shimmered just the same

Chorus
The ocean knows it sees through me
It holds the storms and lets them free
It sings of sorrow roars with grace
Carries the past I can't erase
Like river flows into its soul
It takes it all and still feels whole
Oh the ocean knows the depth of letting go

Verse 2
Your shadow in the waves still dances near
Soft like mist but haunting clear
Each tide pulls memories to the shore
Then takes them out to sea once more
(The waves have washed away heroes past and grand)
The ocean waits but never clings
It welcomes loss it welcomes kings
No promise made no vow denied
Only the truth that never hides

Pre-Chorus
I traced your name upon the foam
But wind and water call it home

Chorus
The ocean knows it sees through me
It holds the storms and lets them free
It sings of sorrow roars with grace
Carries the past I can't erase
Like river flows into its soul
It takes it all and still feels whole
Oh the ocean knows the depth of letting go

Bridge
Let me be like the sea so wide
Embrace the winds no need to hide
Even when hearts break and skies fall grey
The ocean sings and finds its way
(The river flows as spring departs the moon tilts westward once again)

Final Chorus
The ocean knows it holds it tight
The pain the love the endless night
But still it shines in morning light
It never begs it never fights
Like river flows into its soul
It takes it all and still feels whole
Oh the ocean knows and now I know

Outro Whispered over fading guitar
The sea has no end just like this love vast silent and deep
