"The Other Ocean'
She’s on the other side
On another Ocean
The colour in the light
Hides the burning
fire in her eyes
She’s slowly falling into line
Clock keeping time
Days bleed into empty pages
failing Blank Verse Rhyme
Sugar from her lips
her song becomes
her sweetest crime
On another Ocean
She sings her story
with such addiction
such syrupy devotion
no idle victory
just pure
innocent emotion
Her loneliness cries
Deepest Bluest TRUTH
radical,
hot coal commotion
King Marlin
jumps high
in his other Ocean
Puts down his sword
he’s swimming somewhere
out of time with
other hearts imploding
white horses capped frozen
on another ocean
Her heart’s cut
out of time
needs metronome
with his blue reprise song
his opus, takes this,
her Love’s bleeding opium
his immolation
snow falling
on another Ocean
someone waiting for you
in your boat
on another Ocean
The morning
arrives too soon
on another Ocean
lying in her boat
a distant wave
she is waving
she is drowning
On another Ocean
Rocking boat
on another ocean
Runs her fingers
in her ocean
dreaming she’s
in your Ocean
She’s on the other side
In another Ocean
(Lovejoy-Burton/2018, Jan / Lyrics)
