Recorded in a live session with all musicians in one room.

lyrics

Oceans Come & Oceans Stay
Oceans won't ever go away...

If I was the captain on this sea
I'd set a course for mutiny
One more disaster my conscious can't bear

Tonight is for the brave volunteer
They rake the sand in search of eggs

For all the wisdom we have ignored
Mother Nature we have abhorred
What a legacy!

Oceans Come & Oceans Stay
Oceans won't ever go away...

Oceans Come & Oceans Stay
Oceans won't ever...
Take our problems away

All they need is a little more time
To finally prove themselves right

Go ask your father what men have wrought
What happened when the sun flared up?

Such a special gift was it to sail and
Feel the salty spray, the spit

Oceans Come & Oceans Stay
Oceans won't ever go away…
Oceans Come & Oceans Stay
Oceans won't ever take our problems away
(They exist)

Oh, I can't forsake this place
Down among the sea shells
The algae whispering save me

Oceans Come & Oceans Stay
Oceans won't ever go away...
