Jordan White - Engine of the Ocean lyrics

rate me

If porcelain was your face then you were a child of the candle

Sleeping in a raincoat in the shed

To awake like fire from the coal and fog inside your head

And you wanted to sleep through morning

But the sun you love denies

And you want to be a child but your Father's ghost replies:

"It's coming up behind you child, to show you where you lost -

When your way of letting go was your last chance to hold on...."

Chorus:

You keep me running like the engine of the ocean

I'd trade all the salt for some emotion

You keep me running like the engine of the ocean

I'd trade all the salt for some emotion

Now you find me on a line of the water and the land

Where the ocean breaks into rocks

That only become the sand

A sky whispering down on the beach

But I forget that it's all out of reach now

(Chorus)

And you could have found me on a line of the water and the land

I'm just like the rocks that only break into sand

And you, oh you could find me now

Running, running down now

(Chorus)

You're just the engine of the ocean now

Engine of the ocean now....
