Old man walking on the old footpath   Old man walking with his first son   Oh son, my heart is on the ocean   And my eyes are burning from the salt sea   Oh son, my heart is on the ocean   And my eyes are burning from the salt sea      The sun is steady as the sun, it will rise   Morning, the wind is in the willow   Oh son, the wind is in the willow   And the morning is steady as the sunrise   Oh son, the wind is in the willow   And the morning is steady as the sunrise      My heart is on the ocean   My heart is on the ocean   And my eyes are burning from the sea      The ship is sailing as the ships, they do sail   Over the blue and misty water   Oh son, your ship is in the harbor   And your bag is tugging at your shoulder   Oh son, your ship is in the harbor   And your bag is tugging at your shoulder      The seagull is flying as seagulls do fly   Crossing, crossing over the ocean   Oh son, you're crossing over the ocean   And the seagull is flying as the bird flies   Oh son, you're crossing over the ocean   And the seagull is flying as the bird flies      My heart is on the ocean   My heart is on the ocean   And my eyes are burning from the sea      The sun is steady as the sun, it will rise   Farewell, farewell, my first son   Oh son, my heart is on the ocean   And my eyes are burning from the salt sea   Oh son, my heart is on the ocean   And my eyes are burning from the salt sea      My heart is on the ocean   My heart is on the ocean   My heart is on the ocean   And my eyes are burning from the sea
