"The Ocean" lyrics

"The Ocean"

Set your eyes love
Set your eyes oh, west against the morning
Cause I have no warning of this
When they come to wake me up

Set your sights love
Set your sights oh, far across the ocean
Cause if I never touch the ocean
I would only come back home to sleep

But oh, my sight
Am I alright?
Am I alright
Oh, my sight
Am I alright?
Am I alright?

Cut your ties love
Cut your ties, and say I never knew you
But they'll see right through you
And you cannot run and hide

But keep your faith love
Keep the faith, I know it's gonna to bring you life
I know it's gonna bring you down
But though the devil may not take you
You never will escape this love

But oh, my sight
Am I alright?
Am I alright?
Oh, my sight
Am I alright?
Am I alright?

Still this burning in my throat
Is going through all of the motions
And I will someday come to my home
And maybe one day I will reach the ocean
