We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail Where are we going? So far away Somebody told me this is the place Where everything's better and everything's safe Walk on the ocean, step on the stones Flesh becomes water, wood becomes bone Half an hour later, we packed up all the things Said we'd send letters and all of those little things They knew we were lying, they smiled just the same It seemed they'd already forgotten we came here Walk on the ocean, step on the stones Flesh becomes water, wood becomes bone Walk on the ocean, step on the stones Flesh becomes water, wood becomes bone Now I'm back at the homestead where the air makes you joke And people don't know you, trust is a joke Don't even have pictures, just memories to hold Grows sweeter each season as we slowly grow old Walk on the ocean, step on the stones Flesh becomes water, wood becomes bone Walk on the ocean, step on the stones Flesh becomes water, wood becomes bone Walk on the ocean, step on the stones Flesh becomes water, wood becomes bone
