Lyrics

"Ocean Avenue Sunrise"
Words & Music by Timothy Walsh

Arabella's all by herself,
always alone, always in doubt.
She walks the beach at dawn and at dusk
looking for shells, searching for herself.

CHORUS:
Ocean Avenue I know
where you're taking me is so far below.
Ocean Avenue I know...
take me in your heart--I'll go.

I remember the day that we met.
I just thought you were playing hard to get.
You ran away and I couldn't find
the place you were hiding, the cast of your mind.

CHORUS

You never miss watching the sun go down.
You wake at dawn to see it rise
and then you go walking the beach
where you go looking for what the tide brought in
while seagulls steal your eyes.

Then you say that sometimes you feel
your arms should be wings with feathers so real,
that you want to fly away home,
that flesh is a burden too close to the bone.

CHORUS

Arabella out on the beach
spreads her wings hoping to reach
the place where our dreams all come from
so that maybe she won't be undone.
