we spotted the ocean at the head of the trail
\nwhere are we going, so far away
\nand somebody told me that this is the place
\nwhere everything’s better, everything’s safe<\/p>\n
walk on the ocean
\nstep on the stones
\nflesh becomes water
\nwood becomes bone<\/p>\n
half an hour later we packed up our things
\nwe said we’d send letters and all those little things
\nand they knew we were lying but they smiled just the same
\nit seemed they’d already forgotten we’d came<\/p>\n
now back at the homestead
\nwhere the air makes you choke
\nand people don’t know you
\nand trust is a joke
\nwe don’t even have pictures
\njust memories to hold
\nthat grow sweeter each season
\nas we slowly grow old<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
