I'm here, taking off at speed
The world's beneath my feet
And an ocean lies between us
Up high, a supersonic flight
The jets in overdrive
And an ocean lies between us
And I'm shock-eyed
Ocean lies between us

Alone you're rising
The sun-kissed horizon away
A white light, another big time deal
My future's all but sealed
And an ocean lies between us
But don't fear, I'll call you up tonight
No excuse or alibi
Though an ocean lies between us
And I'm shock-eyed
Ocean lies between us

Alone you're rising
The sun-kissed horizon away
Out late, the hours swirling by
I forgot to call tonight
'Cause an ocean lies between us
I'm back home, I slip in for a day
In the morning I leave at 8
And an ocean lies between us
And I'm shock-eyed
Ocean lies between us
And I'm shock-eyed
Ocean lies between us
