Ocean, The Lyrics - To Be Still - Alela Diane

She was always walking, singing to her footsteps 

Dirt ditch paths and pine cones digging up glass bottles 

Rusty springs from feather beds, old hubcaps on the picket fence 

She planted beds of flowers, stayed outside for hours 

In spirit she's drifted to the ocean 

All those years of waiting for the water 

She's watching long shadows caught in the tide 

But the sunset by the sea is in her mind 

The sunset by the sea is in her mind

And she was always hoping to someday leave the mountain 

Domestic chores and children, the darkness of the winter 

Painting all these mermaids wandering to the sea shore 

She wanted him to follow but his heart is with the hillside 

In spirit she's drifted to the ocean 

All those years of waiting for the water 

She's watching long shadows caught in the tide 

But the sunset by the sea is in her mind 

The sunset by the sea is in her mind

These days you'll find her walking, singing to the deep sea 

But she will always love him, lost up in the mountains 

The sun set on the ocean, gathering shells and beach glass 

Dancing with the rogue waves, it gives her peace of mind 

But she will always love him, lost up in the mountain 

Oh, she will always love him, lost up in the mountain
