(Main Vocal - MALE smooth spoken folk voice) [Intro Hook — big beat, upbeat first, bongo drums and tambourine, no vocals] **Verse 1** The sun slips slowly beneath the blue, Turning the water a deeper hue. Waves roll in with a steady sound, Washing the noise from the world around. **Chorus** And the ocean breathes, slow and deep, While the fading light begins to sleep. Nothing to chase, nothing to prove, Just the tide moving in its own groove. **Verse 2** The sky catches fire, then softens to gold, Colours fade as the evening unfolds. The last light disappears from the bay, And the dark takes over at the end of the day. **Chorus** And the ocean breathes, slow and deep, While the fading light begins to sleep. Nothing to chase, nothing to prove, Just the tide moving in its own groove. **Verse 3** Stars start appearing, one by one, Where the blue has faded and the daylight’s gone. Moonlight stretches across the sea, And everything falls back into simplicity. **Bridge** No words needed, no reason why, Just waves below and stars up high. The mind grows still as the night moves through, And for a little while, everything feels true. **Final Chorus** And the ocean breathes, slow and deep, While the whole night settles quietly. Nothing to chase, nothing to prove, Just the tide moving in its own groove. **Outro** The waves keep rolling beneath the stars, The moon hangs low above the sea. The world goes quiet for a while, And the soul remembers how to breathe.
