Swaying with the wind and water Skin to skin, mother to daughter Dreamin the same dreams about their daughter
Although her compass is revered It lacks her mother's inner ear That's kept the two together all these years
The ocean hummed hello my child Let's rock together for a while And when the sun comes up i'll carry you to shore
And when you strum on your guitar Lift your eyes up to the north star And know that it's reflecting on me
When the wake is in between The crashing waves it often seems
Schemes to take her child someday Through webs of landless interplay To depths too deep to fear
But when everybody's justified To say that everybody lied, They all forgot that everybody dies
It sees them in their suffering And gathers all the air they breath
The ocean hummed hello my child Let's rock together for a while And when the sun comes up i'll carry you to shore
And when you strum on your guitar Lift your eyes up to the north star And know that it's reflecting on me
