Blue Is the Ocean

The bells are tolling now
I walk behind the crowd
True, I wish that you could be with me
True, I miss the lips that once kissed me

Still, the letters that I write over tea
Bring me close to you now
Keep me happy when you're not around
And I'm too wound up, baby

The clock is striking one
The clouds still hide the sun
All the saints are filing past me now
I dream of magnificent things now

Still, the letters that I send overseas
Bring me close to you now
Keep me happy when you're not around
And I'm too wound up, baby

Blue is the ocean separating us
It's just enough to bring the bittersweetness to the top of the cup
I know blue is the ocean separating us
The two of us have given up pretending it won't matter

[Keyboard lead]

The bells are tolling now
The sun escapes the clouds

But still, the letters that you've sent off to me
Bring me close to you now
Keep me happy when you're not around
And I'm too wound up, baby

And I know blue is the ocean separating us
It's just enough to bring the bittersweetness to the top of the cup
I know blue is the ocean separating us
The two of us have given up pretending it won't matter
