Walk On The Ocean

We spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
Where are we going, so far away

And somebody told me that this is the place
Where everything's better, everything's safe

Walk on the ocean
Step on the stones
Flesh becomes water
Wood becomes bone

And half and hour later we packed up our things
We said we'd send letters and all those little things
And they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same
It seemed they'd already forgotten we'd came

Now we're back at the homestead
Where the air makes you choke
And people don't know you
And trust is a joke

We don't even have pictures
Just memories to hold
That grow sweeter each season
As we slowly grow old

Walk On The Ocean

Toad is going to be at the Queen in Wilmington tomorrow night and we are going with Richard and Julie.  This seems to be an annual event for us and we never get tired of seeing them.  Now all we need is some new material.  :-)
