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

Walk on the ocean
Step on the stones
Flesh becomes water
Wood becomes bone
(x2)

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
