Lyrics
The Ocean
I dream about the ocean
Down South to the Gulf of Mexico
That’s where my mama had a baby
I was born in a little town East of the Biloxi wind
A town of believers
Waiting for their catch from the sea
painters, potters in that place
Like good people of faith
Waiting for their colors to arrive from the sky, seers
The ocean is in my veins
And it’s stuck like the color red
The sand sticks to my feet
While my spirit still runs free
The water comes and goes
Like some people that I know
Comes and goes, comes and goes
I dream about the ocean
Down South to the Gulf of Mexico
That’s where my mama had a baby
I was born in a little town East of the Biloxi wind
Born in a little town East of the Biloxi wind
