A Simple Ocean Song

from Love Songs by TLB // TheyLoveThem

about

I was sitting alone at the ocean while my friend was at work. It was a beautiful day and I brought my guitar onto the beach and as people looked on I stared out at the ocean and started playing this.

I hope you enjoy it!

lyrics

Birds caw, waves crash, music ignites the air!
Water rushing forward, chords without a care!

To sing a song about the ocean has already been sung.
To sing a song about my music has probably been done.
So here's a:

Song about what it's like to feel the sand between your toes.
It's a song about the beauty of one of Nature's highest mo-
ments are longer lasting, the sky is clear, and the air is all abound.
It's a song about love with no one else around.

Can you hear it rising? the captain's call to sea? (Ahoy!)
Or maybe, if you're lucky, the bells for the ice cream!
To bring a song to your castle walls would just erode away,
But to sing a song as the sun shines on our love-e-ly beach day is just to:

Show you that I think about you when I smell that ocean swell.
To remember all the sandcastles and patches we made well.
And better grab your lover, hold them close, or they might just fade away.

It's a song about love that only lasts a day.
It's a song about times when things weren't just okay.
It's a love for our lives that went and washed away.
It's a love for the ocean until the ocean's gone away.
