I stayed there till the air was clear, I was bored and out of tears

Then I saw you washed up on the shore

Ocean’s daughter, I thought love was out of reach

Funny thoughts sometimes can’t help but wonder that as well

Now life is a holiday, making up for the years I paid

The weight of this heavenly bay, it went through hell
