La Mar (The Ocean)

This day is getting older

in fading light it's beautiful.

This wind is blowing colder

and too soon

I'll feel it's pull.

Still I took all my chances

earned myself an even score.

Try to learn my lessons well.

And I don't have the answers

for those questions anymore.

Only love can be both heaven and hell.

So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart

for the road is long ahead.

I'll be with you even though we're apart

but your road is yours to tread.

And so it goes

and so it goes

and so it goes

slows your mind, mind, mind,

so it goes

and so it goes

and so it goes

slows your mind, mind, mind, mind, mind.

I've grown old on this ocean

gave her all, my stronger years.

Gave my wife my devotion

when she died the ocean my tears.

I've tried to teach you well son

all of everything I knew.

Of how to live this life be true.

Don't bow your head to no one

and no matter what you do

if you start then see it through.

So sturdy up, sturdy up your heart

for the road is long ahead.

I'll be with you even though we're apart

but your road is yours to tread.

And so it goes

and so it goes

and so it goes

slows your mind, mind, mind

so it goes

and so it goes

and so it goes

slows your mind, mind, mind.
