Lyrics
The doves down in south AustinStill wake me in the mornYou've said so long and now you've gone And my heart's just a little bit tornEverybody came and went Now all my money's spentGot no house, Got no rentTried so hard didn't even make a dentYou can't decide if you're on the fenceThat nightingale must have been heaven sentJust to make us laugh and wonder a bitAt loves great big oceanWe made so much love that we barely sleptSo much love with no regretsSo much love we paid off our debtsWe dove right in and we got wet in the oceanIn the oceanLove's great big oceanWe dove right inI bought a western shirt you know the kind with snapsAnd the trumpet players playing tapsIt's hard to force yourself to relax When the future looms with impending doomAnd the woman I left back in San FranciscoShe's still crying into her pillowFour years like a blanket wrapped 'round her shouldersShe's still wishing that I'd hold herAnd I wouldn't mind, I wouldn't mindDid you ever see your reflection in a tear rolling down a freckled cheek?Did you ever have weeks feel like days and days feel like weeks? I drank scotch and played backgammonTill I couldn't keep my eyes openTried to let her go but I couldn't help hoping For a chance of what we never hadAre we throwing out the good with the bad?I'm still smiling she's still sad An we're both just drops in the oceanIn the oceanLove's great big oceanDrops in the oceanThat's all we areWell the water forms 'round the porch screen doorI wonder what I'm still sitting here forPut my feet up the wall lay down on the floorMaybe play a little pianoBut the water won't stop so I better start swimmingTears well up I better keep grinning The crowds shown up guess I better start singing about love's great big oceanWell my best friends down in MexicoI wonder how he's doing I wonder if he knows That I spent the night in a cheap motel by the side of the road?Except that cheap motels aren't cheap anymoreSixty-five bucks and the toilet didn't flush And the TV didn't even have a remoteStill it felt just like a boatOut on the oceanFloating on the oceanSailing on the oceanSurfing on the ocean in my very own boatWell I went to bed early got up lateSome folks think it's great some folks can't relateSome folks dance with the devil I'd rather dance with my fateAnd take the muses out to dinnerWe had gospel brunch down at Maria'sIf you don't come by later I guess I'll see you Somewhere down the lineDon't worry about me I'll be fineJust tell me a jokeMake me laugh I'll be sleeping on your couch for a week and a halfI need a jump in the springsA roll in the grassI wonder how long I can last In this oceanThis great big oceanLost in the oceanCome on in The waters fineAnd I don't mind
