Ben Howard - Ocean Song Lyrics

Been here staring, staring at the rain to long now
Winter coal burning at my toes
Seems like everything, everything I do is going wrong somehow
Feeling blue everywhere that I go
And I'm trying, trying yeah to remember her grace
Trying, trying oh to recapture her words so pure
All the lines on her face
Honey what, what the hell are we doing this for
What the hell are we doing this for at all

Found a letter under a stone
Oh, told of giants, kings, oh palaces and gold, palaces and gold Somewhere, somewhere over the horizon
I swear, I swear I'm going out there to find them
To find them

Oh, I'm going to the ocean no, no, no
Answer some of these questions that have been dragging me down
All this time
Over mountains, mountains of black and white, white
Till I know, know what I've found here
Till I know, know what I've found here

Darling, won't you wait for me
Darling, won't you be there standing there at the shore
Cause I'll be coming home, coming home soon
Coming home, darling I'll be coming home to you

Been here trying, trying to clear my head
Oh, dreaming of words, words my father always said to me
Said: Don't, don't be afraid of the dark sometimes
In your hours of hurt, son that's when you'll find
How strong a heart can be
How beautiful the summer breeze
How carefree is a sea bird as it flies
How much you really need

Oh, I'm going to the ocean no, no, no
Answer some of these questions that have been dragging me down
All this time
Over mountains, mountains of black and white, white
Till I know, know what I've found here
Till I know, know what I've found here

Oh, darling won't you wait for me
Darling won't you be there standing there at the shore
Cause I'll be coming home, coming home soon
Coming home, darling I'll be coming home to you
Coming home, I'll be coming home soon
Coming home, darling I'll be coming home to you
