I Dream an Ocean

I dream an o…
I dream an o…
I dream an ocean of relief when I see you reaching out for me
Your fingers reaching for my fingers as the riptide gleams

But I know it’s not, not the way you feel and I
Know I’m not what you thought you needed
But I could swear I saw in your eyes
More than a trick of the light
Guess you were just one more drop into the blue

Now we’re running through my empty house
It’s much bigger than I remember now
Hallway after hallway, endless walls without rooms
You rest your hand upon my shoulder
In a way that reminds me of my father
And say you’ll lead the way, you’ll never leave me alone

But I know it’s not, not the way you feel and I
Know I’m not what you thought you needed
But I could swear I saw in your eyes
More than a trick of the light
Guess you were just one more drop into the blue
