[Verse 1] The ocean sang in blue against the shore Its long salt verses reaching for the sand We left our summer footprints by the door And let the hours slip through open hands [Chorus] I want to hear the ocean sing again Feel the warm sun settle on my skin The tide still keeps the tune we used to know Though time has carried summer from the shore [Verse 2] The first cold mornings gather at the glass My fingers stiffen round a cup of tea I watch the pale November daylight pass And hear that distant water calling me [Chorus] I want to hear the ocean sing again Feel the warm sun settle on my skin The tide still keeps the tune we used to know Though time has carried summer from the shore [Bridge] Somewhere beneath the winter’s quiet gray The summer keeps its rhythm in the deep I close my eyes and let the waves replay A borrowed warmth I’m still not ready to leave [Final Chorus] I want to hear the ocean sing again Feel the warm sun settle on my skin Let every wave return what time has taken And bring me back to summer’s open shore [Outro] Sing again, ocean, sing again Warm the hands that winter claims
