Drops In The Ocean

The Doves down in South Austin
 Still wake me in the mourn
 You said so long, and how you gone
 And your hearts just a little bit torn
 Everybody came and went
 Now all the moneys spent
 Got no house, got no rent
 Tried so hard didn't even make a dent
 You can't decide if your on the fence
 That night in jail must have been heaven sent
 Just to make us laugh, wonder at that and loves great big ocean
 So much love we barely slept
 So much love with no regrets
 So much love we payed off our debts
 We dove right in and we got wet
 In the Ocean
 Loves great big ocean, we dove right in.
 I bought a western shirt, you know the kind with snaps?
 The trumpet plays, playing taps
 It's hard to force yourself to relax
 When the future holds pending dooms
 And the woman I left in San Fransisco
 She's still crying to her pillow
 4 years, like a blanket rapped around her shoulders
 She's still wishing, that I'd hold her
 And I wouldn't mind, wouldn't mind
 Have you ever seen your reflection in a tear
 Rolling down on a freckled chin?
 Have you ever had days feel like weeks?
 And days feel like weeks?
 Well I drink scotch and play backgammon
 Till I couldn't keep my eyes open
 Tried to let her go, but I couldn't help hoping for a chance at what we never had
 How we're throwing out the good with the bad
 I'm still smiling, she's still sad
 And we're both just drops in the Ocean
 In the Ocean
 Drops in the Ocean, its all we are
 Loves great big ocean.
 Well the water forms around the porch-screen door
 Wonder what I'm still sitting here for
 Put my feet up the wall, lay down on the floor
 Maybe play a little piano
 But the water won't start so I better start swimming
 Tears well us, I better keep grinnin'
 The crowd shows up better start singin' about loves great big ocean
 My best friends down in Mexico
 Wonder how he's downin, wonder if he knows
 That I spent the night in a cheap motel by the side of the ocean
 Except cheap motels aren't cheap anymore
 65 bucks and the toilet wouldn't flush
 And the TV didn't even have a remote
 Still it felt just like a home
 Out on the ocean carried on a boat
 Out on the ocean
 Drifting on the ocean
 Floating on the ocean
 Sailing on the ocean carried on a boat
 Well I got up early, went to bed late
 Some folks think it's great, some folks can't relate
 Some folks dance with the devil I'd rather dance with my fate
 And take the muses out to dinner
 We had gospel burners down in Orleans
 Don't come by later, guess I'll see ya
 Somewhere down the night
 Don't worry about me I'll be fine
 Just tell me your trouble, make me laugh
 I was sleepin' on your couch for a week and a half
 I need to jump into spring and roll in the grass
 Wonder how long I can last
 In this ocean
 Loves great big ocean
 Come on in, waters fine
 And I don't mind
