The gorgeous and epic closer to this classic album, “Ocean Rain” utilizes sailing through storms as a metaphor for the narrator’s troubled relationship. The imagery is richly dark and menacing, grossly contrasting the grandeur and beauty of the melody.
[Verse]
All at sea again
And now my hurricanes have brought down this ocean rain
To bathe me again
My ship's a-sail
Can you hear its tender frame
Screaming from beneath the waves
Screaming from beneath the waves
[Chorus]
All hands on deck at dawn
Sailing to sadder shores
Your port in my heavy storms
Harbours the blackest thoughts
[Verse]
I'm at sea again
And now your hurricanes have brought down this ocean rain
To bathe me again
My ship's a-sail
Can you hear its tender frame
Screaming from beneath the waves
Screaming from beneath the waves...
[Chorus]
All hands on deck at dawn
Sailing to sadder shores
Your port in my heavy storms
Harbours the blackest thoughts
All hands on deck at dawn
Sailing to sadder shores
Your port in my heavy storms
Harbours the blackest thoughts
[Verse]
All at sea again
And now my hurricanes have brought down this ocean rain
To bathe me again
My ship's a-sail
Hear its tender frame
Screaming from beneath the waves
Screaming from beneath your waves
Screaming from beneath the waves
Screaming from beneath the waves
[Chorus]
All hands on deck at dawn
Sailing to sadder shores
Your port in my heavy storms
Harbours the blackest thoughts
