Rockin' Rollin' Ocean

(Theda Roush)



Ev'ry day I listen to the surging tide

And I always wonder why the sea's so wide

Miles of salty water, endless skies above

Stretch out far between me and the one I love.



Chorus:

Rockin' rollin' ocean

With your briny foam

Bring my sweetheart back to me

Bring my darling home.



Ev'ry night I wander down beside the sea

Callin' to the wind to blow her back to me

Now my arms are empty, since she sailed away

Only stars to hear me when I kneel and pray.



Chorus:

Rockin' rollin' ocean

With your briny foam

Bring my sweetheart back to me

Bring my darling home.



Little drops of water, little grains of sand

Make a wide, wide ocean in a lonely land

When a new ship anchors and she don't appear

I make the ocean wider with another tear.



Chorus:

Rockin' rollin' ocean

With your briny foam

Bring my sweetheart back to me

Bring my darling home...
