Ventura

Lucinda Williams · Live @ The Fillmore [2005]

I think I'm gonna make myself a little something to eat



Get a can down off the shelf, maybe a little something sweet



Haven't spoke to no one, haven't been in the mood



Pour some soup, get a spoon, stir it up real good



Go out with a friend, they know the music might help



But I can't pretend, I wish I was somewhere else



I wanna watch the ocean bend



The edges of the sun, then



I wanna get swallowed up



In an ocean of love.



Put on my coat, go out into the street



Get a lump in my throat, and look down at my feet



Take the long way home, so I can ride around



Put Neil Young on and turn up the sound



Drive up the coastline, maybe to Ventura



Watch the waves make signs out on the water



I wanna watch the ocean bend



The edges of the sun, then



I wanna get swallowed up



In an ocean of love



Stand in the shower, clean this dirty mess



Give me back my power, and drown this unholiness



Lean over the toilet bowl, and throw up my confession



Cleanse my soul, of this hidden obsession



I wanna watch the ocean bend



The edges of the sun, then



I wanna get swallowed up



In an ocean of love



I wanna watch the ocean bend



The edges of the sun, then



I wanna get swallowed up



In an ocean of love
