Lyrics

Ocean In Your Eyes
©2021 Bryan Griffith


V1:
Stuck in this pre-dawn tangled traffic
I dwell on the time I lack
Stayed up working late, now I’m late for work
Behind the rat race and a dollar short
I wish I could wind the tape back

'Cause time slips like sand through my fingers
But as I turn the mirror and catch your eyes
You’re a beach full of sand where I linger
An hourglass turned on its side

CH:
There’s an ocean in your eyes
A clear and calm horizon
A well of present time
A sea of silver linings
There’s an ocean in your eyes
There’s an ocean in your eyes

V2:
From this gridlocked bend in the highway
The sun paints a scarlet scene
I’d rather be stuck here with you yawning
And watch the day dawning
Than be tuned-out in front of a screen

You teach me to swim with the flow
With you, I find my stride
Like sailing upwind by tacking on the roll
Leaning out over the side


CH:
There’s an ocean in your eyes
A clear and calm horizon
A well of present time
A sea of silver linings
There’s an ocean in your eyes
There’s an ocean in your eyes

BR:
Ah-woo-hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo, Ah-woo-hoo-oo-oo-oo
Ah-woo-hoo-oo-oo-oo-oo, Ah-woo-hoo-oo-oo-oo

V3:
Time slips like sand through my fingers
There’s too many things I want to try
But you’re a beach full of sand where I linger
An hourglass turned on its side

CH:
There’s an ocean in your eyes
A clear and calm horizon
A well of present time
A sea of silver linings
There’s an ocean in your eyes
There’s an ocean in your eyes
