Rocks in the Ocean

歌詞

On a night just like this, in a place far away He met with a giri in the spring And something about him just turned her around As though she were caught on a string And being so young they held on to each other To see what the moment might bring He loved her then in a secretive way Not showing his care or his need She stayed beside him and looked to the day He would somehow begin to be free In the chill of the night she would hold him and say This is how they always should be Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea Keep it in mind, If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me Don't forget me And so he come to depend on her more Though the lesson was still to be learned, Taking for granted the gift that she gave As though it were something he'd earned And she for her part growing slowly away From a love that was never returned Then came the day that he never foresaw When he woke to find she was gone He followed her then to the ends of the world To tell her how much he'd been wrong But the more he called her, the more she was lost Leaving only the words of her song Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea Keep it in mind, If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me Don't forget me He still listens out for her foot on the stair As he looks for her down through the years And the friends that he had have all left one by one For their words weren't reaching his ears He chooses instead now to wander alone To a song that only he hears Rocks in the ocean, waves on the sea Keep it in mind, If love comes unsatisfied, don't forget me Don't forget me
