OCEAN OF LOVE

The boy left home at twenty-one
And sailed for Hamburg town
His mother's smell his guardian
Her voice his angel's sound

Through dark streets he wandered
Where flesh invites you in
Up cold steps at midnight
He dreamed of an ocean of love
Under the sky above

She saw him there in the corner
With a glass upon his knee
She lost all sense of danger
In his song her heart broke free

Laughing voices fill the streets
Where lovers are dancing home
Collapsing onto sheets
There is an ocean of love
Under the sky above

Naked as a newborn child
I stood there in her room
She smiled upon my broken nest
And whispered some sweet tune
She said, I wrote this for you
Take it everywhere you go
She held me close and sang to me

I've got an ocean of love
Under the sky above
There is an ocean of love
Under the sky above
I've got an ocean of love
Under the sky above
