The Man from Waco

Ocean City.
Empty windows in the night, the tide running backward, footsteps fading on the shore. A voice carried by the wind, a shadow that lingers. Time stands still, and the gull cuts across the gray.

Ocean City.
Leere Fenster in der Nacht, die Flut läuft rückwärts, Schritte verwehen am Strand. Eine Stimme im Wind, ein Schatten, der bleibt. Die Zeit hält an, und eine Möwe durchschneidet das Grau.

Ocean City

If you see me down in Ocean City
Walking slow along the boardwalk lights
Tell her I was searching for her shadow
Tell her I still dream of her at night

If she’s standing by the rolling water
With the wind tangled softly in her hair
Say the tide still carries me toward her
Though I’ve wandered miles from anywhere

Ocean City…
The tide runs backward when the clocks stand still
And empty windows watch the night until
The first gull cuts across the gray
In Ocean City

If she’s resting by the old pavilion
Watching seagulls tracing through the sky
Tell her I still hold that same picture
Though the years have quietly passed me by

Ocean City…
The tide runs backward when the clocks stand still
And empty windows watch the night until
The first gull cuts across the gray
In Ocean City

And if someday the sand forgets her footsteps
And the waves no longer call her name
Tell her I still walk those empty shorelines
And my longing for her stays the same

Ocean City, don’t let go
Ocean City, let her know
