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   Cuz 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
