- Ocean Lyrics1969, Live version
Here comes the ocean and the waves
Down by the shore
Here comes the ocean and the waves
Dawn by the sea
birthes a hollow hair
Part of a figure head
It nearly drive me crazy
I am a lazy son
My death would get things done
Mostly they ho-ho-ho
But here comes the waves
Down by the shore
Washing the eye of the land
That has been
Down by the sea, down by the sea
Down by the sea, down by the sea
Here comes the ocean and the waves
Down by the shore
Here comes the ocean and the waves
Dawn by the sea
Insects are evil thoughts
Fought off by selfish men
It nearly drives me crazy
I am a lazy son
I never get things done
Mostly they ho-ho-holler
But here comes the waves
Down by the shore
Washing the eye of the land
That has been
Dawn by the sea, ...
Here comes,...
Here comes the ocean and the waves
Down by the shore
Here comes the ocean and the waves
Dawn by the sea
birthes a hollow hair
Part of a figure head
It nearly drive me crazy
I am a lazy son
My death would get things done
Mostly they ho-ho-ho
But here comes the waves
Down by the shore
Washing the eye of the land
That has been
Down by the sea, down by the sea
Down by the sea, down by the sea
Down by the shore
Here comes the ocean and the waves
Dawn by the sea
Insects are evil thoughts
Fought off by selfish men
It nearly drives me crazy
I am a lazy son
I never get things done
Mostly they ho-ho-holler
But here comes the waves
Down by the shore
Washing the eye of the land
That has been
Dawn by the sea, ...
Here comes,...
