The Ocean of My Heart Lyrics

There are those who travel the world, in search of the secret to set them free
Put all of their money to gambling, all of their time into ships at sea
Not me, I stay close to the ocean of my heart

I used to play every game to win, saw my future in silver and gold
Spent all of my money in cities of sin, all of my time on dream’s high hopes
Until I came home to the ocean of my heart

My heart has a color like sky over Maine, purer than water, bluer than pain
And it feels a little like everywhere I’ve ever been
But it doesn’t let just anyone in

Never was able to settle down, like they told me I should
He asked me to stay and fulfill all his dreams
But I never could play at life’s games that good
And then I discovered the ocean of my heart

My heart has a color like sky over Maine, purer than water, bluer than pain
And it feels a little like everywhere I’ve ever been
But it doesn’t let just anyone in

Don’t know where I’m headed, but I know where I’ve been
I swim with the tides, and the moon as my guide
Searching without for what lies within
I’m carried along by the ocean of my heart

My heart has a color like sky over Maine, purer than water, bluer than pain
and it feels a little like everywhere I’ve ever been
But it doesn’t let just anyone in
No, it doesn’t let just anyone in
