Walk with me into the ocean
Plenty more fish in the sea
Fill your tired lungs with the water
Floating in the aquamarine

Watch me as I enter the whirlpool
Sailing on the deep sea swell
Passing time of day with the plant life
They have their opinions as well.

Swimming through my days in the water
Water picked these old bones clean
Bury me deep in the sea floor
Another making waves machine

Losing track, sinking back
So long, I'm gone
So long, I'm gone
Yeah! (I'm gone)

Swimming with the tide in the gulf stream
Cruising off atlantic drift
Floating on your back in the star light
Breathing in the ocean's mist.

Falling as the water protects you
Sleeping on your own sea bed
Everything you wanted has left you
And everything you lived for is dead

Losing track, sinking back (Yeah!)
So long, I'm gone
So long, I'm gone

You wait, catch the wave, if I'd wanted to be saved
Ride the southwest wind to shore
Or dig my heels in ocean floor
Though I may have lost my strength
I could show my face again
But I've made this place my own; I'm much safer on my own
And no one's going to find me here
And no one's going to find me here

I could wait and catch the wave if I'd wanted to be saved
Ride the southwest wind to shore
Or I could walk the golden mile with a self-sorry smile
And dig my heels in the ocean floor
Though I may have lost my strength I could show my face again
I've made this place my home;
You've broken me so that I
Stumbled here so that
I'm safer here on my own.

So long, I'm gone
So long, I'm gone
So long, I'm gone
