Songtexte Waterfall 2009 (Garotos De Praia Vocal Radio Edit) - Atlantic Ocean

When I went to your town on the wide open shore
Oh I must confess, I was drawn, I was drawn to the ocean
I thought it spoke to me, it said, "Look at us we're not churches
Not schools, not skating ponds, swimming pools
and we have lost people, haven't we though?"
Oh, that's what the ocean can know of a body
And that's when I came back to town
This town is a song about you
You don't know how lucky you are
You don't know how much I adore you
You are the welcoming back from the ocean
I went back to the ocean today with my books and my papers
I went to the rocks by the ocean but the weather changed quickly
Oh the ocean said, "What are you trying to find?
I don't care, I'm not kind I've bludgeoned your sailors
I've spat out their keepsakes oh it's ashes to ashes
But always the ocean"
But the ocean can't come to this town
This town is a song about you
You don't know how lucky you are
You don't know how much I adore you
You are the welcoming back from the ocean
And the ones that can know you so well
Are the ones that can swallow you whole
I have a good and I have an evil
I thought the ocean, the ocean thought nothing
You are the welcoming back from the ocean
I didn't go back today I wanted to show you
That I was more land than water I went to pick flowers
I brought them to you look at me, look at them
With their salt up the stem but you frowned when I smiled
And I tried to arrange them
You said, "Let me tell you the song of this town"
You said, "Everything closes at five
After that, well, you just got the bars
You don't know how precious you are
Walking around with your little shoes dangling
I am the one who lives with the ocean
It's where we came from, you know
Sometimes I just want to go back
After a day, we drink till we're drowning
Walk to the ocean, wade in with our work boots
Wade in our work boots, try to finish the job
You don't know how precious you are
I am the one who lives with the ocean
You don't know how I am the one
You don't know how I am the one"
