Alela Diane - The ocean

^EmShe was always walking singing to her footsteps ^AmDirt ditch paths and ^Empine cones ^AmDigging up glass ^Embottles ^EmRusty springs from feather beds ^EmOld hubcaps on the picket fence

She ^Amplanted beds of ^Emflowers ^AmStayed outside for ^Emhours

In ^Cspirit she's dr^Emifted to the o^Amcean A^Cll those years of w^Emaiting for the ^Amwater She's wa^Ctching long s^Emhadows caught^Am in the tide But the s^Cunset by the ^Emsea is in her^Am mind The ^Csunset by the ^Emsea is in her ^Ammind

^EmAnd she was always hoping to someday leave the mountain Dome^Amstic chores and ch^Emildren The ^Amdarkness of the ^Emwinter ^EmPainting all these mermaids ^EmWandering to the sea shore She w^Amanted him to ^Emfollow but his ^Amheart is with the ^Emhillside

^EmThese days you'll find her walking ^EmSinging to the deep sea But ^Amshe will always ^Emlove him ^AmLost up in the ^Emmountains ^EmThe sun set in the ocean ^EmGathering shells and beach glass ^AmDancing with the ^Emrogue waves ^AmGives her peace of ^Emmind But ^Amshe will always ^Emlove him ^AmLost up in the ^Emmountain Oh ^Amshe will always ^Emlove him ^AmLost up in the ^Emmountain
