Story Behind The Song

This song presents a very unique analogy for a relationship in which one person is steadfast and waiting (represented by the sand on the beach) and the other comes and goes at will (represented by the ebb and flow of an ocean tide). The minor key moodiness of the music adds to the overall emotional pull and angst of the song. Never released, available for artist pick up.

Lyrics

"OCEAN AND SAND"

I'VE ALWAYS LOVED YOU
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT'S TRUE
A CONSTANT IN THIS SEA OF CHANGE
A ROCK TO PUT YOUR ANCHOR TO
I AM BARELY BREATHING WHEN YOU'RE NOT THERE
I CRAVE THE TASTE OF YOUR SWEET KISS
DON'T YOU KNOW IT IS MY AIR?

(Chorus)
YOU ARE LIKE THE OCEAN
YOU COME AND GO, EBB AND FLOW
I AM LIKE THE SAND ON THE BEACH
WAITING FOR YOU PATIENTLY
YOU RUSH UP OVER ME
AND THEN YOU RETREAT
YOU ARE LIKE THE OCEAN
AND I AM LIKE THE SAND ON THE BEACH

YOU KNOW MY SECRETS, BUT I DON'T KNOW YOURS
I DON'T DWELL ON REGRETS, THE BATTLES OR THE WARS
I AM ONLY SEEING WHAT I WANTED TO
'CAUSE I NEED TO BELIEVE IN THE DREAM I HOLD ON TO WITH YOU

(Chorus)
YOU ARE LIKE THE OCEAN
YOU COME AND GO, EBB AND FLOW
I AM LIKE THE SAND ON THE BEACH
WAITING FOR YOU PATIENTLY
YOU RUSH UP OVER ME
AND THEN YOU RETREAT
YOU ARE LIKE THE OCEAN
AND I AM LIKE THE SAND ON THE BEACH

(Bridge)
I WONDER WHAT MY LIFE WOULD BE IF I COULD CLEARLY SEE
WHAT THIS OBSESSION FOR YOU IS DOING TO ME...

(Chorus)
YOU ARE LIKE THE OCEAN
YOU COME AND GO, EBB AND FLOW
I AM LIKE THE SAND ON THE BEACH
WAITING FOR YOU PATIENTLY
YOU RUSH UP OVER ME
AND THEN YOU RETREAT
YOU ARE LIKE THE OCEAN
AND I AM LIKE THE SAND ON THE BEACH
