"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) 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f77SKdyn-1Y 2.
