Eli Mattson - Blue ocean

There's a warm wind blowing across the bay
and I sailed to far horizon
Oh, blue ocean so far and wide
Can you tell me whose time you're keeping?

The moon sends diamonds upon your seas
Trying to bribe the secrets from you
But none forthcoming, just water in hand
Is that why your depths are so blue?

And I can read your winds
And I can read your tides
And I see your waves encroaching
But I don't know your depths
No, I can't fathom that
And I see your storms approach me

I once saw a mermaid singing in the waves
A sad song about her leaving
No salty tears, she said "Don't cry"
But I'm on this beach still grieving

And I can read your winds
And I can read your tides
And I see your waves encroaching
But I don't know your depths
No, I can't fathom that
And I see your storms approach me

There's a warm wind blowing across the bay
and I sailed to far horizon
