Neil Young - I’m the Ocean lyrics
[Neil Young - I’m the Ocean lyrics]
I'm an accident, I was driving way too fast
Couldn't stop though
So I let the moment last i'm for rolling
I'm for tossing in my sleep
It's not guilt though
It's not the company I keep
People my age, they don't do the things I do
They go somewhere while I run away with you
And I've got my friends
And I've got my family too
And I got her love, she's got my love too
And I can't hear you
But I feel the things you say
And I can't see you
But I see what's in my way
Now I'm floating
'cause I'm not tied to the ground
Words I've spoken seem to
Leave a hollow sound
On the long plain, see the rider in the night
See the chieftain
See the braves in cool moonlight
Who will love them when
They take another life?
Who will hold them when they
Tremble for the knife?
Voicemail numbers on an old computer screen
Rows of lovers, parked forever in a dream
Screaming sirens echoing across the bay
To the old boats from the city far away
Homeless heroes walk the streets
Of their hometowns and rows of zeros on a
Field that's turning brown
They play baseball
They play football under lights
They play card games and we
Watch them every night need distraction
Need romance and candlelight
Need random violence
Need entertainment tonight
Need the evidence, want the testimony of
Expert witnesses on the brutal crimes of love
I was too tired to see the
News when I got home
Pulled the curtain, fell into bed alone
Started dreaming, saw the rider once again
In the doorway
Where she stood and watched for him
Watched for him
I'm not present
I'm a drug that makes you dream
I'm an aerostar, I'm a cutlass supreme
In the wrong lane
Trying to turn against the flow
I'm the ocean, I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean, I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean, I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean, I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean, I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean, I'm the giant undertow
Couldn't stop though
So I let the moment last i'm for rolling
I'm for tossing in my sleep
It's not guilt though
It's not the company I keep
People my age, they don't do the things I do
They go somewhere while I run away with you
And I've got my friends
And I've got my family too
And I got her love, she's got my love too
And I can't hear you
But I feel the things you say
And I can't see you
But I see what's in my way
Now I'm floating
'cause I'm not tied to the ground
Words I've spoken seem to
Leave a hollow sound
On the long plain, see the rider in the night
See the chieftain
See the braves in cool moonlight
Who will love them when
They take another life?
Who will hold them when they
Tremble for the knife?
Voicemail numbers on an old computer screen
Rows of lovers, parked forever in a dream
Screaming sirens echoing across the bay
To the old boats from the city far away
Homeless heroes walk the streets
Of their hometowns and rows of zeros on a

They play football under lights
They play card games and we
Watch them every night need distraction
Need romance and candlelight

Expert witnesses on the brutal crimes of love
I was too tired to see the

I'm the ocean
I'm the ocean, I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean, I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean, I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean, I'm the giant undertow
I'm the ocean, I'm the giant undertow
