Lyrics for Ocean

Here comes the ocean And the waves down by the sea Here comes the ocean And the waves where have they been Silver and black lit night, here's to a stealer's night An empty splendid castle Glowering alone at night, the princess has had a fight Madness seeks out a lover And here come the waves Down by the shore Washing the soul of the body That comes form the depth of the sea Here comes the ocean And the waves down by the sea Here comes the ocean And the waves where have they been Don't swim tonight my love, the tide is out my love Malcolm's curse haunts our family Odious loud and rich, ruler of filthy seas Revel in heaven's justice And here come the waves And save for a scream There's much like a song to be heard In the wind that blows by the sea Like the wind Here come the waves Here come the waves Here come the waves Here come the waves
