Ocean, My Confidante

Oh ocean, listen to me,
Hear my laments,
Listen well, mighty ocean,
To my great sorrow.

Oh ocean, listen to me,
Hear my laments,
Listen well, mighty ocean,
To my great sorrow.

I have spoken the language of the world
But it is longer than your depths
It lies heavy in my chest
And has made me lose my love.

I have spoken the language of the world,
But it is longer than your depths
It lies heavy in my chest
And has made me lose my love.

You all speak but you are wrong
I make the ocean my confidant
If I am sad, it weeps,
If I am happy, it rejoices.

You all speak but you are wrong
I make the ocean my confidant
If I am sad, it weeps,
If I am happy, it rejoices.

Oh ocean, listen to me,
Hear my laments,
Listen well, mighty ocean,
To my great sorrow.

You all speak but you are wrong
I make the ocean my confidant
If I am sad, it weeps,
If I am happy, it rejoices.

You all speak but you are wrong
I make the ocean my confidant
If I am sad, it weeps,
If I am happy, it rejoices.

You all speak but you are wrong
I make the ocean my confidant
If I am sad, it weeps,
If I am happy, it rejoices.
